The attack resulted in at least two deaths, with additional injuries reported among residents caught in the bombardment.
Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko confirmed the scale of the overnight operation through a statement posted on Telegram, noting that the strikes had impacted both civilian housing areas and commercial storage facilities. Emergency services were deployed across multiple districts to respond to the damage and assist those affected.
The strike adds to the pattern of sustained Russian aerial bombardment of Ukraine's capital since the beginning of the military conflict. Such overnight attacks on Kyiv have become increasingly frequent, targeting both civilian infrastructure and strategic locations throughout the city.
