Ukraine-Russia war latest: Girl among four killed in ‘brutal’ attack on Kyiv while Denmark bans drone flights
A 12-year-old girl was among four people killed and at least 70 injured in a 12-hour Russian drone and missile attack on Ukraine.
The assault, which took place overnight and into Sunday, was the first major bombardment since a similar attack killed at least 21 people last month.
Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelensky condemned the “brutal” bombardment that involved nearly 600 drones and several dozen missiles.
The attack came after aerial activity over Nato nations spiked and Denmark said it had observed drones at several sensitive locations for the second consecutive day, calling for a drone ban.
Defence minister Troels Lund Poulson said the Nato nation was “currently in a difficult security situation”.
“We cannot accept that foreign drones create uncertainty and disruption in society as we have experienced recently,” transport minister Thomas Danielsen said. “Denmark will host EU leaders next week, where we must have extra focus on safety.”
This was the latest unexplained drone activity after sightings last week, including over five Danish airports, raising concerns about security in northern Europe.
