A Russian drone strike on Kyiv’s Sviatoshynskyi district overnight on Nov. 2 caused a fire in a 16-story residential building, injuring two people and causing damage to upper floors.
The blaze, which broke out on the upper floors, spread across an area of roughly 50 square meters, Ukraine's State Emergency Service reported. The attack damaged several apartments on the building’s 15th and 16th floors, with the top floor suffering the most severe destruction.
First responders evacuated 18 residents, according to local authorities. One of the injured was transfered to the local hospital, according to Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko.
The Nov. 2 attack is the latest in a series of drone strikes targeting civilian infrastructure in Ukraine’s capital. On Oct. 29, Russia attacked Kyiv with drones injuring six people in Kyiv's Solomyanskyi district, authorities reported.
Air defense remains active in Kyiv as of 7:45 a.m. local time. Ukraine's Air Force earlier warned about drone threats to the capital.
