An aircraft impacted between the 10th and 11th floors of a building during a drone barrage that followed air-raid sirens in the Ukrainian capital. Initial reports indicated that at least seven individuals, including a nine-year-old boy, were injured. Emergency responders worked through shattered glass and debris to evacuate residents.
As the attacks persisted, the total number of injured individuals across Kyiv rose to 20, with eight requiring hospitalization. Structural damage was reported in the Podilskyi and Solomianskyi districts. Additionally, a subsequent drone strike hit a five-story non-residential building in the Shevchenkivskyi area.
This recent offensive followed a prior nighttime assault involving ballistic missiles, which resulted in two fatalities and eight injuries in Kyiv.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported that eight regions were subjected to Russian attacks. According to Ukrainian officials, the overnight barrage included 282 attack drones alongside various missile types. The city of Odesa was also targeted, resulting in one fatality and one injury. Meanwhile, Russian authorities claimed their strikes focused on Ukrainian defense and logistics infrastructure, denying any intentional targeting of civilians, and reported casualties caused by Ukrainian long-range retaliatory strikes.
