Previous attacks on Kyiv

Earlier, Russia launched another drone attack on the capital, with explosions heard across the city as air defense was active.

During the overnight attack on October 22, Russia targeted Ukraine with kamikaze drones and missiles, damaging infrastructure belonging to football clubs Polissia and Metalist 1925.

That night’s bombardment also struck energy infrastructure, prompting emergency power outages in multiple regions.

Following the ballistic missile attack the same night, fires and missile debris were recorded across Kyiv.
