A team of paramedics came under missile fire as Russian ballistic missiles again targeted Kyiv late on Oct. 26, Mayor Vitali Klitschko said.
Mayor Vitali Klitschko reported that a team of paramedics came under missile fire during a Russian ballistic missile attack on Kyiv on October 26. Preliminary reports indicate that five individuals were injured and subsequently hospitalized. The attack also resulted in explosions near a Metro station in Kyiv's Desnyanskyi district.
Two medical facilities in the Dniprovskyi district suffered damage, with blast waves shattering windows in the intensive care unit of one site and windows being shattered at the other site. Kyiv Independent journalists were the first to report loud explosions in the Podilskyi and Obolon districts around 9:45 p.m. local time. Earlier, Ukraine's Air Force had warned that ballistic missiles and other missiles were heading towards Kyiv.
Russia has a history of targeting civilian infrastructure in Ukrainian cities as it continues its war in the country. A fatal attack on the night of October 13-14 killed five people and injured 25 others, while a cluster munitions attack on October 22 claimed at least one life and injured 24.
