A Russian drone strike hits a nine-storey residential building in Kyiv, triggering a major fire and structural damage. Residents flee and firefighters work to control the flames while rescue workers assist people at the scene.
Outlets describe the timing as Thursday morning and connect the attack to earlier Russian activity in the area. Kyiv Post says it follows an overnight missile barrage, while other reports focus on the drone impact and the resulting damage. Coverage across sources also aligns on the location being a Kyiv apartment block and notes injuries alongside the fire and harm to the building.
The main variation is in reported casualty totals: one outlet reports fatalities and a higher number of injuries, while another cites fewer injuries and specifies the number injured. Despite those differences, all accounts portray the strike as causing a multi-floor fire in a residential building.
