In the Kyiv region, emergency services are working to eliminate the consequences of a massive overnight drone attack in the Obukhiv and Fastiv districts. One woman was killed, and three others, including a child, were injured.

Ukraine's State Emergency Service (SES) said this in a statement seen by Ukrinform.

"Kyiv region rescuers are extinguishing fires caused by the massive enemy attack. Sadly, there are casualties of Russian aggression," the statement said.

In the Obukhiv district, a residential building was partially destroyed, killing a woman born in 1997. Three others — two adults born in 1966 and 1964 and a child born in 2019 — were injured and are receiving medical care.
