Sudan Events – Sumaya Sayed

Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Saturday that Russia launched over 70 Iran-designed Shahed drones at Ukraine overnight, most of which were shot down.
Zelenskiy said the attack, which came in the early hours of the day that Ukraine commemorates the 1932-33 Holodomor famine that killed several million Ukrainians, was an act of ‘wilful terror’.
Ukraine’s capital city took the brunt of what the country’s air force described as Russia’s largest drone attack of the war on Saturday, leaving five people wounded as the continuing rumble of air defences and explosions woke residents.
The attack began hitting different districts of Kyiv in the early hours of Saturday, with more waves coming as the sun rose.
Mayor Vitali Klitschko, writing on the Telegram app, said the attack had injured five people, including an 11-year-old girl, and damaged buildings in districts across the city.
Fragments from a downed drone had started a fire in a children’s nursery, he said
