Summary
A loud explosion was heard around 06:50 in Kyiv, and residents reported panic. A Russian drone struck a 24-story residential building in the Sviatoshynskyi district, starting a fire near the upper floors and damaging the building and nearby structures; emergency services worked at the site. Reports say a separate drone set parked vehicles on fire in the Desnianskyi district, and another drone caused a fire at a transport facility in the Solomianskyi district, while a further drone landed in an open area without causing a fire. Two people were killed and two injured in the Kyiv attacks, per the latest adopted count, though some reports give differing figures. Mayor Vitali Klitschko reported the strikes, and the attacks were part of a wider overnight Russian missile and drone assault on Ukraine.
