The residence of the Estonian ambassador to Ukraine, Eneli Kolk, was damaged in a drone attack on Kyiv early this morning, the media reports.

The building was not destroyed and the ambassador was not injured, the Estonian public service "ERR" reports.

The attack began on Thursday evening and lasted eight hours, and the ambassador and her partner were in the shelter.

"At one point it seemed that the danger had passed and we returned to our apartment on the top floor. But still, the drones continued to fly and attack, and our building was also hit," Kolk said.

She said the drone hit the building at 5:30 a.m., but there were no casualties because there was no one on the top floor.

"The damage is limited to the exterior facade and roof of the building." The entire upper floor was hit, but luckily everyone was unharmed," added the Estonian ambassador.

Estonian Foreign Minister Magnus Khanna said a Russian drone had hit the house where the Estonian ambassador lives in Kiev and said Ukraine needs more air defense.
