(Reuters) - Air defences were engaged in Ukraine's capital of Kyiv on Thursday to repel a Russian drone attack, officials said, and Reuters witness reported explosions in the city while British Prime Minister Keir Starmer was visiting.
City officials said there were no casualties as a result of the attack, but a car was damaged by falling debris in one of the districts. Russia regularly launches drones across Ukraine. On Thursday, Ukraine's air force said it downed 34 out of 55 drones launched in an overnight attack, with a further 18 failing to reach targets.
