Explosions and fires were reported across the capital’s Solomianskyi, Darnytskyi and Dniprovskyi districts, the emergency service said in a statement on Telegram. In the Solomianskyi district, a strike ignited a fire in a three-story office-and-warehouse building, while another warehouse in the Dniprovskyi district caught fire after being struck.

Russia launched 10 missiles of various types, including six ballistic missiles, along with 121 drones against Ukraine overnight, Ukraine’s Air Force said. Ukrainian air defences said they shot down or electronically suppressed two missiles and 111 drones.

The Air Force said direct hits were recorded at 11 locations from ballistic missiles, two guided air-to-surface missiles and seven attack drones. Falling debris from intercepted weapons was reported at three additional locations.

Russia’s Defence Ministry said its forces had targeted drone production facilities in Kyiv, as well as the ports of Izmail and Chornomorsk in Ukraine’s southern Odesa region.

The ministry also said Russian air defences destroyed 178 Ukrainian drones overnight over eight Russian regions, as well as over the Russian-occupied Crimean Peninsula and the Black and Azov seas.
