A large-scale Russian attack on Friday morning has killed one child and injured at least 20 people, caused a fire in a high-rise apartment building in central Kyiv and targeted energy infrastructure, officials reported.
Energy Minister Svitlana Grynchuk confirmed that Russian forces had struck energy sites across the country, and response teams would work to minimise the impact of the assault.
Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko confirmed that power outages had affected parts of the city.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy mentioned on X that "It was a cynical and calculated attack, with more than 450 drones and over thirty missiles targeting everything that sustains normal life, everything the Russians want to deprive us of. As of now, more than 20 people across the country have been reported injured – all are receiving the necessary assistance."
"Sadly, a child was killed in Zaporizhzhia as a result of the attack" he added.
Tymur Tkachenko, head of Kyiv's military administration, stated that both drones and missiles were used in the overnight assault on the capital.
Tkachenko added that a drone had set fire to apartments on the 6th and 7th floors of a high-rise building in the central Pecherskyi district.
Images shared online showed flames engulfing the apartments, with firefighters in position to tackle the blaze.
On Facebook, Grynchuk assured that "energy experts are taking all necessary measures to minimise negative consequences."
She added, "Once safety conditions allow, energy experts will assess the damage and begin restoration efforts."
