Buildings in the Obolonskyj district, not used for residential purposes, and warehouses in Podilskyj were hit, with reports of a drone attack also in Sumy, where one person was killed and several injured.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy had warned of a potential new Russian attack earlier. Russian President Vladimir Putin turns 74 today.
