Russia is arming its Shahed attack drones with a new type of thermobaric warhead to cause maximum destruction to civilian buildings across Ukraine.

A Russian drone strike on Kyiv recently caused a fire in a 16-story residential building, spreading across an area of roughly 550 square feet, as reported by Ukraine's State Emergency Service. On October 29, six people were injured following a Russian drone attack on the Ukrainian capital.

The Russian army sent a record number of Iranian kamikaze Shahed drones and those of other types on Ukrainian territory for the second straight month in October, according to the Ukrainian defense forces on Friday.

Russian forces bombarded Ukraine with 59 attack drones on the night of 13-14 November, 21 of which were shot down and 38 others disappeared from radar.

Air raid warnings blared for hours. Serhii Popko, head of the Kyiv City military administration, said defense forces destroyed several cruise and ballistic missiles and up to a dozen drones.

It was impossible to breathe – we had to leave.” The Russian Shahed drone killed the 14-year-old in her bed, in her suburban apartment in Kyiv, last month. “She died immediately, and then burned,” her mother said.
