As families were getting ready to start their week early on Monday, waves of explosive-laden suicide drones rocked Ukraine's capital and other cities. The booms resonated around Kyiv, burning buildings on fire and sending people running for cover.

The assaults, which apparently resulted in multiple fatalities, followed a week of widespread, well planned Russian airstrikes.

Although videos posted to social media on Monday, October 17, indicated attacks on restaurants, schools, and residential buildings, Russia has consistently denied deliberately targeting people in Ukraine.

Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said apartment blocks and a non-residential building were on fire in the capital's central Shevchenko district, adding that at least one person was killed and another believed to be trapped under the debris of an apartment block.

People on the streets caught images of some of the drones as they flew into Kyiv.

The drones came in several waves and buzzed overhead with angry hums from their engines.

Videos posted to social media, including one seemingly taken by the body-camera worn by a member of Ukraine's national police force, showed security forces taking aim at the small aircraft from the ground with rifles.

Russia has repeatedly been using the so-called suicide drones in recent weeks to target urban centers and infrastructure, including power stations.

"All night and all morning, the enemy terrorizes the civilian population," Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Monday. "Kamikaze drones and missiles are attacking all of Ukraine. The enemy can attack our cities but it won't be able to break us."

Monday's blasts seemed to continue what many fear could become more common occurrences in urban centers as Russia enters the 9th month of the war.
