Russia launched a large-scale overnight attack on several Ukrainian cities using missiles and drones. The attacks injured at least three people in the Kiev region and damaged rail infrastructure.
The Ukrainian Air Force reported that Russian forces launched a barrage of missiles, including Kinzhal hypersonic missiles, and dozens of drones, particularly at cities on the outskirts of the Ukrainian capital.
According to local sources, at least two power plants (one in Kiev, one near the capital), two mechanical engineering factories and at least one railway station (in Fastiv, Kiev region) were hit. The death toll is still provisional.
Mykola Kalashnyk, head of the Kyiv Regional State Administration, wrote on Telegram: "The enemy is launching a massive attack on the Kyiv region with drones and missiles. Settlements in the region are under attack. Unfortunately, three people were injured as a result of the terrorist attack."
Among them, two women in their forties suffered multiple shrapnel wounds to multiple parts of their bodies.
The third injured person is a man, also in his 40s, in the village of Fastiv, about 60 kilometers southwest of Kiev city center.
"The victims have received all the necessary medical care," Kalashnyk assured. Due to the massive Russian attack on the Fastiv railway infrastructure in the Kiev region, passenger train lines have been disrupted.
Ukraine's state emergency service also reported fires in a warehouse in Novi Petrivtsi and a house in Bucha, Kyiv Oblast. Reports of drones have also reached as far west as Lviv Oblast, while Russia has launched several waves of attacks on Ukrainian cities since the early hours of the day, according to the Kyiv Independent newspaper.
Explosions were confirmed in Poltava, Lutsk, Odessa, Zaporizhia and Bila Tserkva during the attacks. In Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, regional governor Vladislav Haivanenko said fires broke out in several cities during the attack, including attacks on houses in Pavlohrad and local infrastructure in Kryvyi Rih, while an 11-year-old boy was injured in Nikopol.
In the western city of Lutsk, Mayor Ihor Polishchuk reported that several food warehouses were engulfed in flames. Recently, the Polish Air Force announced on social media that it had scrambled fighter jets to protect Polish airspace after the hours-long Russian attack on western Ukraine.
In Ukraine's Chernihiv region, a Russian drone strike overnight hit residential buildings and critical infrastructure, sparking fires. The State Emergency Service of Ukraine reported this on Telegram, according to the Ukrinform news agency.
