Russia hits another Kyiv apartment building after day of deadly strikes, injuring 4
The strike caused a fire and partial structural damage at a 12-story building, according to Ukraine's State Emergency Service. Four people were injured, including two children.
Russia launched a series of deadly drone strikes against Kyiv on the evening of Oct. 7, targeting a 12-story apartment building and injuring four people, including two children. This followed a large-scale attack that began overnight, which killed nearly 30 people across Ukraine, including four victims in Kyiv. Despite the ongoing rescue efforts, Russian drones continued to menace the capital into the evening.
The Russian attacks targeted residential buildings in several Ukrainian oblasts, coinciding with Russian President Vladimir Putin's 74th birthday. In Pryluky, Chernihiv Oblast, a Russian cruise missile destroyed a five-story building, killing 20 people and injuring 55, five of whom were children. Additionally, Russia targeted critical infrastructure, leaving many Kyiv residents without access to electricity or water.
