These explosions were accompanied by power supply disruptions, affecting the city's infrastructure. According to reports from The Kyiv Independent, shortly after the missile strikes, Russian 'Shahed' drones also attacked various parts of the city, further escalating the situation.

In addition to Kyiv, the air forces warned that Russian missiles were aimed at Dnipro and Pavlohrad in Ukraine's Dnipropetrovsk region. Rescue services confirmed that homes were damaged in the Darnytsia and Dniprovskiy districts of Kyiv. In Darnytsia, debris from an explosion impacted the facade and windows of a residential building, injuring one individual. Meanwhile, in Dniprovskiy district, drone debris fell near residential areas but did not result in casualties.

As the news unfolds, local officials are assessing the damage, with Kyiv Mayor Vitaliy Klitschko highlighting the incidents in Holosiyivskyi and Desnyanskyi districts of the city. The ongoing conflict continues to pose a significant threat to civilians, and authorities are likely to enhance security measures in the wake of these attacks, as the situation remains volatile in many regions of Ukraine.
