16 Injured, Including Two Children: Russians Carry Out Massive Shelling Of Kyiv

Russian forces launched a large-scale shelling attack on Kyiv overnight, injuring 16 people, including two children aged 10 and 12. Nine of the injured required hospitalization. Mayor Vitali Klitschko reported the incident, according to UATV English. The heaviest damage occurred in Kyiv's Dniprovskyi district, where debris fell from multiple locations, damaging an office building, a residential building, warehouse premises, and a gas station.

Other districts, such as Sviatoshynskyi and Solomianskyi, also suffered damage. The attack resulted in low water pressure across the city, affecting areas on the Left Bank, as well as Solomianskyi, Holosiivskyi, and Sviatoshynskyi districts. Emergency services are currently responding to the sites of the strikes, and authorities are working to clarify casualty details.

In Odesa, a high-rise building and private house were damaged, resulting in six injuries, including two children, with infrastructure also affected. Additionally, a critical infrastructure facility in Kropyvnytskyi was targeted, injuring three people, while a missile strike on Zaporizhzhia damaged industrial facilities, leaving one building partially destroyed and causing a fire.

This attack comes after Russian forces struck Pavlohrad in the Dnipropetrovsk region earlier this month, leaving 18 people hospitalized. Russian forces also conducted drone strikes on the city center of Kyiv on September 10, resulting in five fatalities and 67 injuries.
