Russia has begun using new, even deadlier "Shahed" drones.

This was reported by Head of the Ukrainian Presidential Office, Andriy Yermak, on Telegram.

"Russia is now using "Shahed" drones with an increased warhead of up to 90 kg and metal fragments (shrapnel) to maximize civilian casualties," he wrote.

Yermak vowed that Russia would face consequences.

"Criminals and terrorists must be held accountable for this, and they will be," the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine concluded.
