Ukrainian officials report that Russian forces launched a missile assault on the nation’s capital early Thursday morning, leaving multiple people wounded and igniting fires throughout various neighborhoods in Kyiv.
According to Mayor Vitali Klitschko, one missile struck the sixth floor of a 16-story residential building located in the central Podil neighborhood, though the impact did not spark a blaze at that location.
Klitschko reported that a significant fire erupted at a structure in the northern Obolon district, where four emergency medical personnel sustained injuries. The mayor also noted that missile fragments scattered across multiple areas of the city.
City military administration chief Tymur Tkachenko confirmed that no fewer than four individuals were wounded in the Thursday morning assault.
The attacks extended beyond the capital, with regional governor Oleksandr Ganzha reporting via Telegram that Russian strikes also ignited substantial fires in the southeastern city of Dnipro, where five people were injured. Social media images revealed buildings engulfed in flames throughout the area.
