In the Solomianskyi district, one missile struck a multi-story residential building.
In the Shevchenkivskyi district, a multi-story residential building caught fire due to debris from intercepted missiles falling to the ground. Emergency response teams are en route to the scene.
In the Dniprovs'kyi district, a shopping center and several cars caught fire.
After the missile strikes, thick smoke filled the skies above Kyiv, Ukraine’s capital.
