Ukraine presidential chief of staff Andriy Yermak initially said it was an enemy drone that had been shot down.

In a statement, it said the Bayraktar TB2 UAV [unmanned aerial vehicle] had lost control around at 20:00 (17:00 GMT) in the Kyiv region, during a scheduled flight.
It added that it had taken a decision to shoot it down " since the uncontrolled presence of UAVs in the sky of the capital could lead to undesirable consequences".
There were no casualties or injuries from The Falling drone, it said.
" It's a pity, but this is technology, and such cases happen, " The Statement said. " It is probably a technical malfunction, the reasons are being established. "

City military administration head Serhiy Popko said a fire was brought Under Control in a building where The Drone was brought down in Solomyanskyi district, west of the City Centre .
