Kyiv: An overnight drone assault by Russia on Kyiv led to injuries for at least seven individuals, according to local authorities early Sunday.
Mayor Vitali Klitschko reported that one victim was hospitalized, while others received care on-site. The drone strikes impacted multiple residential buildings, particularly in the Dniprovskyi district, where one building caught fire after drone debris hit its upper floors. The 20th floor of another apartment building in the same area was also struck, as noted by Tymur Tkachenko, head of the Kyiv City Military Administration. Additionally, a catering facility in the vicinity was damaged by drone wreckage.
In the Podilskyi district, high-rise apartments also suffered damage from drone fragments, leading to fires. Emergency services were dispatched to all affected locations, and updates on casualties and damages continue to emerge.
In other parts of the city, drone debris caused fires and damage, including a fire in an open area of the Desnianskyi district and damage to a vehicle in the Shevchenkivsky district. Debris also fell in an industrial area of the Holosiivskyi district.
A series of explosions shook the capital throughout the night as air defense units were active. This attack occurs less than a week into a limited 30-day “ceasefire” concerning attacks on energy infrastructure between Russia and Ukraine, announced by the Kremlin on March 18 following discussions between Russian President Vladimir Putin and U.S. President Donald Trump. Despite the ceasefire, Moscow’s aerial attacks on Ukrainian cities persist. “Today, the Russians are once again demonstrating their ‘desire for peace,’” remarked Tkachenko.
