Ukraine’s Capital City Kyiv attacked by kamikaze drones say officials. The air defences for Ukraine were turned on after when this happened.
What are kamikaze drones?
- Small aerial weapons, also known as loitering munitions, which are destroyed after striking the target
- Unlike other drones – which are supposed to return home after dropping missiles – kamikaze drones are disposable
- The name derives from the Japanese pilots who volunteered to crash their planes in suicide missions in World War Two
- President Zelensky has previously accused Russia of using Iranian-made drones – Iran denies supplying them while Russia has not commented
