The epicentre of the strikes and falling Russian missile and drone debris was in Kyiv's Darnytskyi and Podilskyi districts. Damage was also recorded in the Holosiivskyi and Obolonskyi districts.

Apartments from the fourth to the eighth floor of a residential building in the Podilskyi district were destroyed.

A fire broke out and apartments from the first to the fourth floor of a 25-storey residential building were destroyed in the Darnytskyi district. Apartments in a 30-storey tower block in another residential complex caught fire after being struck by falling debris.

The final number of people killed and injured is still being established."
