Russian Drone Strike Hits Residential Building in Kyiv

A Russian drone struck a nine-story residential building in the Solomianskyi district of Kyiv on the morning of Thursday, November 12. The impact sparked a fire between the third and sixth floors and caused significant structural damage to the fifth level of the building.

The city's military administration confirmed the death of a 44-year-old woman. Five other people were injured and rescue teams remain on the scene to assist residents affected by the attack.

This action followed an overnight offensive that utilized ballistic missiles against the Ukrainian capital. The episode is part of an intensified Russian campaign using drones that has been ongoing since late August.

Frequent attacks have targeted various types of infrastructure such as logistics centers, warehouses, schools, and medical facilities. The daily routine of Kyiv residents faces constant interruptions due to air defense alerts and the need to seek shelter throughout the day.
