During an evening attack, a drone hit a 25-story residential building in the Darnytskyi District, killing a woman and injuring 11 people, per Mayor Vitali Klitschko. An earlier drone attack in the city injured three people, including an elderly woman, while debris fell in the Solomyanskyi and Darnytskyi districts. In the Pecherskyi District, a fire caused by drone wreckage was brought under control.\n\nThe Kyiv Independent also reported that Russian strikes hit the Roshen confectionery factory in Vinnytsia. Additionally, the Security Service of Ukraine detained a 19-year-old suspected of plotting a bomb attack on a bus carrying soldiers. Meanwhile, Ukrainian Minister of Strategic Industries Fedorov stated that a new interceptor drone has destroyed two Russian Geran-5 drones within its first week of use.\n\nAccording to Ukrainian Women's Guard (UAVarta), there have been 180 combat engagements since the start of the day and the enemy has carried out 67 air strikes.
