On the night of February 11, in the Kyiv region, during a Russian massive drone attack, air defense was working. As a result of the attack, a kindergarten and a school in the Boryspil district were damaged, according to the acting head of the Kyiv Regional State Administration, Mykola Kalashnyk.

As Kalashnyk noted, the air raid alert in the region worked all night. Ukrainian air defense prevented critical or residential infrastructure from being hit.

However, due to the Russian attack in the Boryspil district, a kindergarten and two school buildings were damaged by the blast wave. The glazing, windows, and doors were broken in the buildings. In particular, a playground and a private house were damaged.
