] An air raid alert has been sounded again in Kiev, the capital of Ukraine.



Authorities in Kiiwu announced that at least 20 Iranian drones were spotted over the capital at dawn yesterday (19th) local time, and at least 15 of them were shot down.



Kieu said at least two people were injured and some infrastructure and residential buildings were damaged.



Residents affected by the airstrikes were at a loss for words.

It came because we requested it.]



Ukraine's state-owned power company Ukrenergo said emergency power outages had been implemented in 10 regions across the country, including Kiiu.



It is explained that it may take a considerable amount of time for power supply to households to resume.



Russia is said to have fired more than 4,000 missiles into Ukraine since the start of the war.



Meanwhile, Belgorod, a region bordering Russia with Ukraine, was also attacked for two days in a row.



The Russian Ministry of Defense said yesterday it intercepted four American high-speed anti-radar missiles over Belgorod.



The missiles are known to be able to precisely strike by tracking the source of radar waves on the ground from a distance of up to 145 km.



Belgorod was shelled by Ukrainian forces the day before, killing one person and wounding eight others, local authorities said.
