On the evening of October 7, drone debris killed two people in Kyiv's Obolon district and injured eight in Solomianskyi; later a drone hit a 12-storey building, injuring four, and rescuers evacuated 22 people.
Kyiv came under fresh strikes on October 7: during the day and evening, drone debris fell on residential buildings in several districts, and late in the evening a drone hit a high-rise. Volunteers Support Ukraine has gathered the main points from official reports.
According to the Kyiv City Military Administration, two people were killed and 13 injured in the Obolonskyi and Solomianskyi districts. In Obolon, falling debris set cars on fire in the courtyard of a residential building. A woman's body was found near a burning car, and another victim later died. In Solomianskyi, a five-storey building caught fire after debris fell on it, and the number of injured there rose to eight, according to Mayor Vitali Klitschko.
At about 22:23 Klitschko reported a drone hit on a residential building. According to the State Emergency Service, the 12-storey block was struck at the tenth-floor level: a fire spread across the upper floors and the structure was partly damaged. Four people, including two children, were injured. Rescuers led 22 people out of the building, eight of them children. The fire, covering about 100 square metres, was put out.
The strikes came on the day russia launched a massive combined attack across Ukraine, and infrastructure in the capital was damaged. NGO Volunteers Support Ukraine keeps helping people affected by the war in whatever way the available resources allow.
