Russian massive Shahed drone attack killed 7, wounded 9 near Kyiv at night

Russians launched a massive air attack against Ukraine at night on 22 March, using 21 Shahed drones. Ukaine’s air defense downed 16 of the drones, according to Ukraine’s General Staff.

At the same time, the drones which were not downed hit a dormitory and academy in the city of Rzhyshchiv in Kyiv Oblast. The attack killed seven people and injured nine others at night. The rescue operation continues and four people are missing under the rubble. The attack happened around 3 am, and 200 people were evacuated from the damaged buildings, the head of Kyiv’s Oblast police Andriy Nebytov informed.

Also, an energy facility in Ukraine’s Zhytomyr Oblast was damaged by one of the drones, causing temporary power outages.

US ambassador to Ukraine reacted to the night attack:
