Kiev under massive shelling by drones and missiles: 4 dead, 20 injured

On the night of 28 August, Russian troops launched one of the most powerful strikes on Kiev in recent times.

According to the head of the KGBA, Timur Tkachenko, and Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko, the attack killed at least four people, including a 14-year-old girl. More than twenty residents of the capital were injured, among them at least five children aged between 7 and 17.

A series of explosions swept through the city, causing destruction and fires in several neighbourhoods. Search and rescue operations are ongoing at the site, so the number of victims may increase.

Damage in Kiev districts

• Darnitsky district: six objects were damaged, including two multi-storey buildings (5 and 16 floors), a private house and a kindergarten.

• Shevchenko district: non-residential buildings and offices destroyed, cars damaged.

• Goloseevsky district: in the morning, fires were recorded at several locations, windows were broken in more than ten houses, and cars were damaged.

• Solomensky district: a private residential house was destroyed.

The search operations of the State Emergency Situations Service continue, as there may still be people under the rubble.
