The Kyiv City Military Administration reported the information.

The initial threat from Russian UAVs targeting the Ukrainian capital was reported around 00:20 a.m.

About an hour later, debris was confirmed to have fallen in the Holosiivskyi and Desnianskyi districts, landing in open areas. Fires broke out but were quickly extinguished, with no reports of casualties or damage at that time.

Around 02:00 a.m., air defense systems were active over the capital.

An hour after the air raid alert was lifted, Russian drones were seen approaching Kyiv from the northeast.

By 06:20 a.m., the Kyiv City Military Administration (KCMA) reported that debris from the Russian attack had fallen in the Shevchenkivskyi district. Preliminary reports indicated a fire had started.

Further details clarified that the debris damaged the road surface, a lighting pole, and electrical wires. The blast wave shattered windows on the 1st and 2nd floors of a dormitory and from the 1st to the 9th floors of an office building. According to the KCMA, there was no fire and no injuries.

City officials also released photos showing the aftermath of the night’s attack.

According to the Regional Military Administration, in one village in Chernihiv district, fragments from a Shahed drone struck a two-story apartment building, causing damage to windows, doors, the foundation, and the roof. Nearby vehicles were also affected, and an outbuilding caught fire.

In another village within the district, fragments from a Russian drone also fell, igniting dry grass.
