According to officials, around 20 drones were deployed to Kyiv and the surrounding region on Monday morning, and over 15 were shot down by air defence systems.
Before the sky was declared clear at 5:50 a.m. (07:50 GMT), air raid sirens began to ring.
According to the municipal administration's Telegram account, a crucial piece of Kyiv's infrastructure was targeted, but no additional details were given.
The government declared, "The enemy is attacking the capital."
According to the report, Russian soldiers pounded Kyiv and other places with barrage ammunition shot from Shahed drones, drones built in Iran.
Vitali Klitschko, the mayor of Kyiv, confirmed the blasts on Monday.
On the messaging app Telegram, Klitschko asserted that the attack on the city had harmed crucial infrastructural facilities.
The electricity and heat grid engineers are putting up a lot of effort to go back to business as usual as quickly as they can.
Oleksii Kuleba, the governor of the Kyiv area, reported that multiple residences and public buildings were destroyed and that at least two people were harmed. It seems like nobody was murdered.
The Ukrainian military has claimed that other regions of the country have also been hit, even though the capital looked to be the main focus of the most recent Russian assaults.
In at least 35 Russian drones launched across the country from the eastern side of the Azov Sea, the air force said on Telegram that it had shot down 30 of them.
The attack comes after Russian bombs on Friday that targeted many Ukrainian cities, including the capital Kyiv, and left major areas of the nation without electricity amid the chilly winter.
The Russian invasion of Ukraine, which started on February 24, has been repeatedly routed on the ground, forcing Moscow to rely more and more on heavy aerial bombardment.
The Ukrainian government, the UN human rights office, and the president of the European Commission have all referred to the attacks as war crimes as they endanger civilians and impair crucial services in a nation where an estimated 18 million people already require humanitarian aid.
Moscow, though, is adamant that these strikes are completely acceptable from a military perspective.
The EU and the US have tightened their sanctions on Iran to penalise individuals who are "complicit" in the country's drone industry.
Tehran acknowledged in November that it had sold Russia a "small quantity of drones" before the invasion while maintaining that it supports neither side in the conflict.
However, many have questioned whether Russia has the means to carry out such a mission. On the other hand, Ukrainian officials have warned that Moscow may plan a second attack in the new year, which might include a significant ground invasion of Kyiv.
