Russian units attacked Kyiv with drones overnight on January 5. As a result of the enemy strike, a private medical facility was damaged in the capital, according to local authorities and RBC-Ukraine`s own correspondent.
So far, the consequences of the attack have been recorded in the Obolonskyi district of the capital.
“Unfortunately, we have debris impact in the Obolonskyi district. A private medical facility was damaged. All emergency services are working at the scene, and I am also heading to the impact site,” wrote Head of the Obolonskyi District State Administration Kyrylo Fesyk on Telegram.
Earlier, Head of the Kyiv City Military Administration Tymur Tkachenko also reported that there were reports of a fire in the Obolonskyi district. Most likely, this also concerned the medical facility.
