Emergency calls reported fires and destruction at more than 40 locations in every district of Kyiv.
In the Shevchenkivskyi District, Russian forces struck a five-story residential building. The attack caused structural destruction and a fire from the first to the fifth floors. One person was found dead, while three others were injured. Firefighting operations were ongoing.
