In Kyiv’s Darnytskyi district, a Russian drone strike injured eight people, including a three-year-old child. The attack targeted a 25-storey residential building and its surrounding area, causing significant damage.

According to Tymur Tkachenko, head of the Kyiv City Military Administration, the blast shattered windows and damaged balcony glazing from the 3rd to the 11th floor. Vehicles parked nearby and the building’s courtyard also sustained damage.

“Last night, the capital was hit by enemy drones. In Kyiv, there is one location with damage—a 25-storey residential building in the Darnytskyi district and the territory adjacent to the building. The blast wave caused damage to windows and balconies. The yard and cars parked next to the building were damaged,” he wrote.

Four of the injured have been hospitalized, and the three-year-old girl is receiving treatment for a cut wound. Emergency services and specialists from the Darnytsia District State Administration are working at the site throughout the day, with immediate relief efforts coordinated by district head Oleksandr Kovtunov.

As reported by Ukrinform, on the night of July 28, Russian forces launched another combined attack on Ukraine using missiles and attack drones.
