As previously reported, three people were injured in the Ukrainian capital following a Russian drone attack.

In the Sviatoshynskyi district, falling drone debris sparked a major fire covering 1,500 square meters at a warehouse, as well as two additional fires in separate warehouse buildings covering 1,000 and 150 square meters.

Drone debris also landed on a sports ground and nearby buildings in the same district, damaging window glazing and the facade of one building.
