Kyiv residents warned not to shoot down drones
Kyiv says Iranian-made explosive drones were used by Russia to attack residential buildings on Monday, killing four people in Kyiv, and tearing one apartment block in half.
The United States and the European Union say they're investigating the role of Iran in the conflict.
Tehran denies it has supplied Moscow with the kamikaze drones.
Monday's attacks were in central Kyiv during the morning rush hour, and targeted infrastructure across the country in the second wave of air strikes in a week.
Maria Drutsk is a resident in Kyiv. She told Newsday: "We've got massive attacks, but we are more united behind our leaders, and by our military more than ever."
"The Ukrainian government is telling people, please do not shoot down flying drones by yourself with small arms."
