Ukrainian air force spokesman Yurii Ihnat confirmed later that the air defenses shot down 66 air targets over the capital and surrounding region throughout the morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At least five civilians were wounded in the hourslong assault, which saw several buildings damaged by falling debris from downed drones, including a kindergarten. The wounded included an 11-year-old child, according to Kyiv mayor Vitali Klitschko.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the city\u2019s Solomiansky district, debris left a crater in the courtyard of a residential area, and the windows of a nearby building were blown out. Residents, most of them elderly, received medical attention at the scene. Others took shelter in a nearby subway station. As people were clearing up debris and broken glass in the neighborhood, the hum of a fresh wave of drones could be heard nearby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Residents immediately began sealing up broken windows using tape and paper to keep out the cold late November winds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The assault on Kyiv began at 4 a.m., local times, continuing in waves, and caused power outages in 77 residential buildings and 120 institutions, according to Popko. Ukraine\u2019s Energy Ministry said 17,000 people were without power in the Kyiv region as a result of the attack, noting that four power lines were damaged. Power was restored in the early afternoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOur soldiers shot down most of the drones. Unfortunately, not all,\u201d Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy wrote on Telegram. \u201cBut we continue to work to strengthen our air defense and shoot down more,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The attack was carried out on the morning of Holodomor Memorial Day which commemorates the manmade famine in Soviet Ukraine that killed millions of Ukrainians from 1932 to 1933. It is marked on the fourth Saturday in November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to Kyiv, the Sumy, Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhzhia, Mykolaiv and Kirovohrad regions were also targeted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, shelling killed on person and wounded three in the southern Kherson region, regional Gov. Oleksandr Prokudin said on Saturday. According to Prokudin, the region had been shelled 100 times over the previous 24 hours.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>75 Iranian-made Shahed drones were launched against Kyiv,
