Russian Attack on Kyiv Leaves One Dead, Several Injured

A Russian attack on Ukraine's capital Kyiv left one person dead and several others injured, including a child, while damaging five residential high-rises across the city.

Emergency services reported multiple rescues as fires and debris caused havoc in several districts, The Caspian Post informs via Ukrainian media.

In Shevchenkivskyi, a 14-story building caught fire on the 4th and 5th floors before being extinguished. In Solomianskyi, debris struck a 25-story building, damaging its facade and nearby cars, while another strike hit a 17-story building. A garage in a private sector also went up in flames.

In Sviatoshynskyi, rescuers saved a child from a three-story building, but later discovered a deceased person under the rubble. In Dniprovskyi, a 10-story building suffered damage on the 6th and 7th floors, with three people rescued, including a person with limited mobility.

The attacks followed an air-raid alert issued shortly before midnight, as drones and ballistic missiles targeted Kyiv. Nearby Brovary also reported damage to a high-rise and a private house. At least eight people were injured, with five hospitalized, including a 13-year-old child.
