Situation Overview

On 7 November, a Russian ballistic strike hit Kyiv, injuring three people, including a child, the Kyiv City Department of Ukraine’s State Emergency Service (SES) reported on Telegram. The SES said the attack caused a fire in the Solomianskyi district and damaged residential buildings, a preschool educational institution and a non-residential building. It reported that at one location part of the facade of a five-storey residential building was partially destroyed, with no fire and no casualties there. At three other locations, the blast wave shattered windows in five-storey residential buildings, and one person was injured. The SES also said a two-storey building on the grounds of a kindergarten was destroyed in a direct hit, and that a parked truck and a non-residential building caught fire; firefighters extinguished the blaze.
