The drone struck the building between the 10th and 11th floors, after air raid alerts were triggered. The sole fatal victim is a 14-year-old boy of Israeli nationality. His mother was also injured during the attack and taken to hospital. The Israeli Foreign Ministry indicated that its services in Kyiv were in contact with the family to provide assistance. An initial toll reported at least seven injured among the residents of the building. But the attacks continued elsewhere in Kyiv and the total number of injured reached 20, including a nine-year-old child, with eight hospitalizations. Buildings were damaged in Podilskyi and Solomianskyi, and a drone also hit a five-story non-residential building in Shevchenkivskyi. This new wave comes after ballistic missile fire that had killed two people and injured eight others in Kyiv the previous night. The attacks extended far beyond the capital's borders. Volodymyr Zelenskyy indicated that eight regions had been targeted, while Ukraine reported 282 attack drones and several types of missiles launched overnight. Odesa was also hit, with one dead and one injured. Moscow says it targeted defense and logistics facilities, denies deliberately targeting civilians, and for its part reports victims after long-range Ukrainian strikes.
