According to Kyiv Mayor Vitalii Klitschko, the drone slammed
into a 25-story apartment block Friday night in the city's west,
killing a 15-year-old girl and injuring five others. Ukraine's
Emergency Service said 100 people were evacuated following the
strike, which damaged several apartments on the building's upper
floors.
Serhii Popko, who heads Kyiv's local military administration,
said that Russian forces overnight pummeled the city for 7 1/2
hours. Air raid sirens wailed throughout the night, and Popko
said that Ukrainian air defense shot down up to a dozen Russian
drones.
Also late Friday, a Russian missile hit a residential area in
the central city of Dnipro, killing a 14-year-old and three
others, said regional Gov. Serhii Lysak, adding that at least 20
others were injured including an 8-year-old and teenagers. The
wife and teenage daughter of a local policeman were pulled dead
from the rubble, police reported. The attack damaged over a
dozen apartment buildings, private houses and a medical
facility.
A man and woman died after a Russian drone dropped explosives on
a village in the southern Kherson region, local prosecutors
said, while a 61-year-old woman was killed by shelling in the
northeast.
In the Kyiv province, which surrounds but does not include the
capital, flying debris from a drone attack killed a woman,
Ukraine’s Emergency Service reported. A 13-year-old boy was
wounded elsewhere in the region, it said.
