An air raid alert was declared in Kyiv during the night of January 28, with air defense systems activated. The aftermath of the drone attack was recorded in the Holosiivskyi district, according to Kyiv City State Administration head Tymur Tkachenko on Telegram.
The air raid alert lasted nearly two hours, from 01:00 to 02:45 Kyiv time.
According to Tkachenko, fragments of a drone initially fell onto a road in the Holosiivskyi district.
Later, reports emerged of window damage to a residential building in the Holosiivskyi district caused by falling drone fragments.
There were also initial reports of a fire on the roof of a non-residential building, but this was soon disproven.
“At this location, the roof of an apartment building was damaged,” Tkachenko clarified.
