In Kyiv, amid the enemy missile attack, an ambulance was damaged and its driver was injured, according to a post by Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko.

"At one location, as a result of secondary explosions, an ambulance was damaged. The driver has been injured," the mayor wrote.

Klitschko also reported fires across various districts of the capital. This time, the affected districts include Holosiivskyi, Obolonskyi, Desnianskyi, and Sviatoshynskyi.

The most information is available about Obolon — where warehouse facilities, office buildings, and non-residential structures were on fire, although a residential building reportedly also caught fire.

In Holosiivskyi district, a strike on non-residential premises caused an ammonia leak. Additionally, people were trapped under rubble in that district, with two pulled out. Search and rescue operations continue.
