Summary
On the morning of October 21, 2026, a Russian drone struck a 24-story apartment building in Kyiv's Sviatoshynskyi district around 7 a.m., killing two people and injuring one. The impact caused a fire on an upper floor and significant damage to the building and nearby structures. The strike was part of a broader Russian attack on Ukraine that night using Iskander-K cruise missiles and 186 Shahed-type drones, during which Ukrainian air defenses reported intercepting 150 unmanned aerial vehicles. Separately during the same operation, other drones ignited parked vehicles in the Desnianskyi district and struck a transport facility in the Solomianskyi district.
