In Kyiv, as of the evening of November 14, 36 people are reported injured following a massive Russian strike during the night, according to Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko on Telegram.
"Thirty-six people were injured in the capital as a result of the enemy attack last night. Six of them are hospitalized," Klitschko said.
He added that five of the injured are in serious condition.

Nighttime Russian strike
On the night of November 14, Russian forces launched 19 missiles and 430 strike drones across Ukraine.
In particular, the enemy used Kh-47M2 Kinzhal hypersonic missiles and Iskander-M/KN-23 ballistic missiles for the attack.
The majority of the missiles and drones targeted Kyiv, hitting residential high-rises in the city.
For example, in the Dniprovskyi district, a drone struck a five-story residential building, causing a large fire. Rescuers began evacuating people trapped inside.
There were also strikes on high-rises in the Podilskyi, Sviatoshynskyi, Desnianskyi, Solomianskyi, and Obolonskyi districts, as well as a school in the Darnytskyi district and a hospital in the Holosiivskyi District.
According to the latest information, 35 civilians were reported injured and six killed.
As usual, the Russian Ministry of Defense claimed that they targeted military-industrial facilities and energy infrastructure "supporting their operations."
More details about the nighttime strike by Russian forces can be found in the RBC-Ukraine report.
