Russian forces attacked the Kyiv region overnight with drones and missiles. The strikes caused fires and left one person injured, according to a Telegram post from Kyiv Regional Administration head Mykola Kalashnyk.
"All night the enemy has been massively attacking Kyiv region with missiles and drones. Residential areas and energy infrastructure were targeted," Kalashnyk said.
According to him, a woman was injured in Vyshhorod district. She was hospitalized with shrapnel wounds to her thigh, and all necessary medical care is being provided.
In Boryspil and Vyshhorod districts, private homes and vehicles were damaged. All emergency services are on site, working to assess and repair the damage caused by the attack.
"The terrorist state deliberately targets critical infrastructure, trying to leave us without power and heat. They strike residential areas at night to scare and spread panic. They will not succeed," the Kyiv regional head emphasized.
Russian attack on Ukraine on November 8
On the night of November 8, Russia again attacked Ukraine with drones and missiles. Explosions were reported in Dnipro, Kharkiv, and Sumy regions.
Following attacks on energy infrastructure, Kremenchuk and Horishni Plavni in Poltava region were left completely without electricity.
City authorities are taking all necessary measures to maintain water supply, sewage, and heating systems amid the blackout. Shelter points for residents are also operational.
Additionally, Russian forces attacked the suburbs of Kharkiv overnight. The shelling caused power and water outages, and the metro is not operating. Low voltage has already caused, or may cause, temporary water disruptions in some areas. The metro is running in shelter mode, and trolleybuses have been replaced with buses.
Throughout the night, Russia continued its combined drone and missile attacks on Ukraine. All current information about the attacks can be found in the RBC-Ukraine report.
