overnight in what officials said was the largest drone attack of the city but crowds poured into the streets later on Sunday to celebrate the anniversary of the Ukrainian capital's founding.

"Strength is in people, it is in cities, it is in life, and when life, people, and the most important cities for culture are despised, Russia will only face defeat," Zelenskyy said. Reuters witnesses said that during the air raid alerts that started soon after midnight, many people stood on their balconies, some screaming offensives directed at Russia's President Vladimir Putin and"Glory to air defence" slogans.

Zelenskyy said one drone hit an unidentified infrastructure target in the Zhytomyr region, west of the capital. Reuters was unable to independently verify the information on what systems were used or how many drones were launched and destroyed.
