Russian drone attack kills 1, injures 7, damages central bank building in Kyiv
Russia launched a drone attack on Kyiv on the morning of Jan. 1, killing one person and injuring at least seven, including two pregnant women, Ukraine's Prosecutor General's Office said.
The National Bank of Ukraine said that one of its buildings in Kyiv's Pechersk District had been damaged by falling debris. The central bank's main building is located near the President's Office on Bankova Street.
“All the NBU's (National Bank of Ukraine) operating systems and services are fully operational and unaffected,” the central bank said in a statement posted on Facebook, adding that windows on the upper floors were damaged.
Russia has not slowed down its attacks on Ukraine over the holiday period. President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Dec. 29 that Moscow had escalated its aerial assaults on Ukraine.
On Dec. 25, Russia conducted a large-scale Christmas attack, firing 78 missiles and 106 drones against multiple cities.
