According to Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko, air defense systems successfully intercepted many of the drones, but the attack still caused significant damage.

Two floors of a residential building were partially destroyed, and debris also damaged a non-residential building in another part of the city.

Klitschko reported that emergency services were quickly on the scene, working to assess the full extent of the damage and provide aid to those injured.
