JAKARTA Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, was attacked by an unmanned Russian plane on Saturday, November 25 in the morning. From the NBC report, Russia used 75 drones in the attack.

Although the attack was carried out in the early hours of the morning, the drone explosion only injured five people. There were no casualties in this attack. Reportedly, this airstrike lasted up to six hours.

Ukrainian Air Force Commander Mykola Oleschuk said that they managed to bring down the drone that Russia flew in a mobile fire, a hood truck equipped with an engine gun or sickle gun.

According to Oleschuk, the Ukrainian military managed to bring down 40 percent of the drones sent by Russia. It is unclear how many drones, but Oleschuk said that 71 out of 75 drones were shot down.

Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that their country was commemorating the tragedy of the Ukrainian Holodomor or Genocide that occurred as a result of mass hunger from 1932 to 1933.

According to Zelenskyy, Russia deliberately carried out terror on the eve of the Holomor tragedy. He said on Telegram that, "Russian leadership is proud of the fact that they can kill."

The purpose of this drone attack is not yet known. However, the Ukrainian government has warned the public that Russia is trying to destroy their energy systems back to the winter of 2022.

At that time, 200 buildings in the capital were destroyed and 77 residential buildings did not get electricity. To prevent the same incident from happening again, Ukraine has prepared retaliation for Russian airstrikes.
