The blast wave shattered a kitchen door and sent shards of glass raining down, leaving a resident in the kitchen severely injured.
Neighbors described the sudden attack as terrifying, with many fleeing to safety. The incident was part of a series of Russian drone strikes on Kyiv, as the city has faced continuous attacks in recent weeks, targeting civilians, transport, and energy infrastructure.
