A Russian drone hit a nine-story apartment building in Kyiv’s Solomianskyi district, killing a woman and starting a fire that reached several floors. Russia launched various missile and drone attacks across the country, causing power outages in multiple cities and striking a customs terminal in the west. The Nizhyn Fat and Oil Processing Plant has halted production following damage from drone strikes, while contaminated air has spread across the Kyiv region.
In the Zaporizhzhia region, Russian forces used KAB bombs in an attack that killed a 99-year-old woman and injured a child. This escalation comes alongside reports of another woman dying from injuries sustained in a drone strike in Kherson. Despite the risks, some civilians are choosing to stay in active combat zones rather than face the uncertainty of evacuation.
Away from the front, the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) detained 13 people following a brawl in Petropavlivska Borshchahivka. The arrests took an unexpected turn when investigators discovered a doctor involved in the disturbance was carrying a fake medical identification card.
