Overnight Russian drone and missile attacks on Kyiv killed at least six people, injured dozens, and damaged residential buildings and a metro station serving as a bomb shelter, Ukrainian officials said.
The strikes hit Kyiv’s Shevchenkivskyi district hardest, where the entrance of a residential high-rise was destroyed, leaving people trapped under rubble, Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko said. Damage spread across six of the city’s 10 districts, injuring at least 10 people.
A 68-year-old woman was killed and eight others wounded in the broader Kyiv region, according to regional governor Mykola Kalashnik. Rescuers evacuated people, including a pregnant woman, from burning buildings throughout the night.
Kyiv’s metro exit in the Sviatoshynskyi district was also damaged. These deep metro stations have served as vital bomb shelters since the war began.
Russia has not commented on the attacks. Both sides deny deliberately targeting civilians, but thousands have been killed since the conflict began in February 2022.
