Situation Overview

On the night of 7 November, Russia launched a mass strike on Kyiv, injuring six people and damaging residential buildings and a kindergarten in the Solomianskyi district, with fires reported at the site. Earlier reporting on 7 November said the strike hit Kyiv and the surrounding area, damaging an important bridge and energy facilities, according to a local official. The attacks were part of an exchange of missile and drone strikes between Russia and Ukraine, with both sides targeting infrastructure. The latest confirmed casualty figures in Kyiv reported by the cluster are five injured earlier and six injured later, including a 14-year-old. The cluster does not report specific market or company impacts.
