Russian forces launched a Shahed drone attack on the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv. One drone was captured on video flying at an extremely low altitude, just meters above civilians on the ground, before it self-destructed and crashed into a lake. The incident highlights the psychological terror and close-quarters danger of such strikes, even when they ultimately cause no casualties or significant damage. Ukrainian air defenses were active during the assault, which follows earlier reports of UAVs heading towards the city.
