The Ukrainian Red Cross Society (URCS) responded to an overnight drone attack in Kyiv's Obolon district. Volunteers from rapid response teams and the National Committee of the Ukrainian Red Cross, along with other services, worked to address the aftermath of the attack. They went door-to-door in the affected building and surrounding area to identify those impacted.

First aid was provided to four individuals, with two being transported to emergency medical teams for further hospitalization. The Ukrainian State Emergency Service reported that a Russian drone strike caused a fire on the second to fifth floors of a 12-story residential building, affecting an area of 80 square meters. Three individuals were eventually handed over to medics. The attack's effects were also observed in Kyiv's Podilsky, Holosiivsky, and Desnyansky districts.
