Russian ballistic missile attacks injure three in Kyiv and surrounding area
Multiple waves of Russian ballistic missiles struck Kyiv overnight, injuring three people and causing damage to residential buildings and a kindergarten.
Several waves of Russian ballistic missiles hit Kyiv overnight on Nov. 6-7, shortly after President Volodymyr Zelensky warned of a large-scale infrastructure attack. Ukrainian air defense reported at least six missiles launched at the capital shortly before 11 p.m. on Nov. 6, followed by additional alerts around midnight and again after 1 a.m., each accompanied by loud explosions.
Kyiv City Military Administration confirmed that two people were wounded in the city and a third victim was injured in the surrounding region. The injured are receiving medical treatment. Mayor Vitali Klitschko said explosions occurred in the suburbs and noted damage to a five-story residential building in the Solomianskyi district, shattered windows at another five-story building, a fire in a non-residential structure, and damage to a kindergarten in the same district.
Further explosions were reported at 3:04 a.m. and again at 3:30 a.m. local time. Outside Kyiv, Governor Tymur Tkachenko said a Russian drone strike in the Brovary district caused a house fire, injuring one man with burns and shrapnel wounds.
Zelensky had earlier warned that intelligence indicated another major Russian strike on bridges, energy facilities and civilian infrastructure was imminent. The attacks occurred as Kyiv continues to experience frequent strikes on its power grid.
