March 16 (Reuters) – Debris crashed in central Kyiv and two other ​districts of the ‌Ukrainian capital on Monday from a Russian drone attack, though there were no ‌immediate ​reports of ⁠injuries, officials said.

Kyiv ⁠Mayor Vitali Klitschko said drone debris fell in the busy Shevchenkivskyi ​district in the city centre, the ⁠western Svyatoshynskyi district ⁠where it caused ​a grass fire in ​an open area, and ‌in the neighbouring Solomianskyi district where it hit a non-residential area.

Multiple ⁠explosions were heard in the city. Kyiv’s military administration said ⁠earlier ‌on Telegram ⁠that an air alert ​was ‌declared in the ​city ⁠due to the threat of Russian drones.
