The death toll from the Russian night-time raids on Kyiv stands at one dead and 15 injured. A statement from Mayor Vitaliy Klitschko specifies that a 46-year-old woman died as a result of an attack in the Desnyanskyi district. The raids damaged “multi-storey and private residential buildings, healthcare facilities, a metro station, a university hall of residence, a shopping centre, an administrative building, trams and cars”.

Last night, “air defence forces on duty intercepted and destroyed 222 Ukrainian ‘drones’ in the regions of Novgorod, Tver, Belgorod, Bryansk, Kursk, Kaluga, Orel, Tula, Voronezh, Smolensk, Rostov, the Krasnodar Territory, the Republic of Crimea and over the Black Sea”. This was announced by the Russian Ministry of Defence on Telegram.

A Russian attack has struck the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, killing one person. Ten people have been injured, nine of whom have been admitted to hospital, according to the city’s mayor, Vitaly Klitschko. Three people are reportedly in a serious condition. “Most of them are students from a university hall of residence,” Klitschko explained. Shortly before, President Zelensky had explained that the attack had specifically targeted the area near a university in Kyiv, the campus, Kyoto Park, the area near a metro station and several residential buildings.
