On the evening of November 4, Kyiv was once again targeted by enemy drones. Fortunately, the air defense forces could neutralize all of the Russian drones.

UAV attack on Kyiv
"Last night, the Russian armed forces launched yet another attack on Kyiv using drones. They resorted to their usual tactics, but once again, our defense forces were able to thwart all of the enemy UAVs and prevent them from reaching their target," Serhii Popko, head of the Kyiv City Military Administration, wrote.
Meanwhile, due to the drone strike on Kyiv, the remains of the UAV came crashing down.
"Local fires were recorded – grass and leaf litter were burning. There were no casualties or damage," Popko clarified.
In particular, drone fragments fell in the Obolonskyi and Desnianskyi districts on open terrain.
"In the Desnianskyi district, where the drone's wreckage fell, there was a fire on the territory of the Muromets park.
According to initial reports, there is a fire on the embankment in the Obolonskyi district. The greenery is ablaze," Kyiv's Mayor Klychko said.
It should be noted that on the night of November 3, Russian invaders launched attack drones over the capital. Air defense forces could shoot them down, but falling fragments caused fires in the Desnianskyi and Holosiivskyi districts.
The road surface, lighting poles, and electric wires in the Shevchenkivskyi district are damaged.
