Russian strikes targeted Kyiv city early Thursday, resulting in the deaths of two individuals and injuring thirteen others. The attacks involved drones and missiles, leading to multiple fires and damage to various structures. The head of Kyiv's military administration reported residential buildings, vehicles, and office spaces were ablaze. The Shevchenkivskyi district was particularly affected. Authorities advised residents to keep windows closed due to smoke, signaling an urgent public safety concern. The escalation followed heightened drone attacks from Russia in recent days, prompting many civilians to seek shelter at night.
"Residential buildings, vehicles, warehouse facilities, office and non-residential buildings are on fire," head of Kyiv's military administration, Tymur Tkachenko, said on the Telegram app.
Authorities said six districts had been impacted, especially the Shevchenkivskyi district known for its restaurants, bars and art galleries.
