Russian drone smashes into Kyiv school, no injuries, officials say

More than 100 students and staff sheltered before the strike, and emergency crews extinguished the fire after the drone damaged part of the building.

  • On Thursday, a Russian drone struck the South Bridge in Kyiv for the second time, damaging a support pillar and forcing authorities to halt metro and surface transport across the Dnipro River.
  • Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko reported that drones struck near the bridge's support structure earlier Thursday, damaging the roadway, a crash barrier, and the metro's protective concrete barrier.
  • A shock wave sent dust into a metro carriage as the train crossed the bridge, though the Kyiv City State Administration confirmed neither passengers nor the operator sustained injuries.
  • Following inspections, experts from the municipal enterprise Kyivavtoshliakhmist found no critical damage to the structure, allowing ground public transportation to resume across the bridge as usual.
  • Attacks coincided with a Russian Geran-4 drone strike on a school in the Solomianskyi district, while Ukraine simultaneously deployed its domestically produced FP-7 tactical ballistic missile in combat for the first time.
