Published Updated

An overnight enemy attack on Kyiv caused damage and fires in four districts, with rescuers still battling a blaze at a residential building where four people were injured.

Kyiv Mayor reported early today that an overnight enemy attack caused damage and fires across four districts of the capital. In Darnytskyi district, a fire broke out near warehouse buildings but was quickly extinguished. On Obolon, debris fell near a residential building, shattering windows without causing a fire or structural collapse. In Solomianskyi district, a downed unmanned aerial vehicle set the roof of an office building ablaze; that fire has been put out. However, State Emergency Service crews continue to work at a five‑story residential building where a fire persists and a search‑and‑rescue operation is underway. Four injured people have been found there. In Sviatoshynskyi district, UAV debris landed on the grounds of a shopping mall, igniting and damaging one store; the fire was also extinguished.

The strike continues a wave of Russian drone attacks on Kyiv in recent weeks, which have repeatedly hit civilian infrastructure and caused casualties across multiple neighborhoods.
