Russian drone hits central Kyiv killing a child, injuring at least seven people, Ukrainian officials say
Police said the strike injured at least seven others and caused fires in two city districts as Russia intensified near-daily drone attacks on Kyiv.
- On Friday, a Russian drone struck a 16-story residential high-rise in Kyiv's central Pecherskyi district, killing a 14-year-old boy and injuring at least seven other residents, according to police and Ukrainian officials.
- The strike occurred as part of a massive overnight Russian drone assault on Ukraine that hit multiple Kyiv districts, forcing emergency crews to extinguish fires at residential and non-residential buildings across the capital.
- Ukraine's Air Force identified jet-powered Shahed-type drones over the capital at around 8 a.m., noting these models are faster and harder to intercept than older versions. Recent barrages aim to overwhelm local air defenses.
- President Volodymyr Zelenskyy denounced the strike as "absolutely savage and sickening." Separately, Odesa regional governor Oleh Kiper reported Russian strikes killed one person and injured another, damaging warehouses and postal premises.
- While Russia claims these strikes target military and logistics hubs, Ukrainian forces simultaneously launched reciprocal attacks on Russian industrial facilities about 1,500 kilometers from Ukraine's border. Both sides intensify long-range drone operations targeting energy infrastructure.
