Russia has launched several waves of drone attacks on Kyiv for the second night in a row, the city’s military administration said.
Serhiy Popko, head of the administration, said Ukraine’s air defence systems hit around 10 drones in Kyiv and its outskirts.
No “critical damage” or casualties have been reported, he said.
Meanwhile, Russian authorities said a Ukrainian drone heading for Moscow was shot down on Saturday.
The defence ministry said the un-crewed aircraft (UAVs) was intercepted over the Bogorodsky District on the north-eastern outskirts of the capital.
Moscow mayor Sergei Sobyanin said there was no damage or casualties.
Sunday’s air raids against Ukrainian targets follow a wave of attacks the night before, with Kyiv saying it had shot down 29 out of 38 Iranian-made Shahed drones launched by Russia.
The BBC is unable to independently verify exactly how many drones were launched and destroyed.
On Saturday, Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky praised his air force for shooting down the UAVs – the highest number reported to have been launched by Russia in more than six weeks.
In his nightly address, Mr Zelensky said: “Your accuracy, guys, is literally life for Ukraine” – but he warned that as winter approaches Russia would try to make its attacks more powerful.
He said Russia could be stockpiling missiles for a winter assault on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure.
