of the machine gunfires the ukrainians are trying to take them down. where we are right now, you can see substantial damage after one of these drones impacted here. you can see the cleanup is already going on. i want to just ask our camera man to pan up right now. you can see it actually impacted up there in the first top couple floors of that building. now, that is something that is absolutely significant, guys, because despite the fact that the russians shot dozens of drones one again or sent them at the capital kyiv the ukrainians say they managed to take most of the drones down. now, what you re seeing up there, the ukrainians are saying is actually damaged from a drone that was down and debris then hit this building and caused that explosion that you saw up there unfortunately in this building one woman was killed. i was able to speak to kyiv s mayor. here is what he said. actually may have a lot of attacks to our city not just to
