A fire broke out in Kyiv's Solomyanskyi district on Nov. 9, after a Russian drone attack, the Kyiv City Military Administration reported. The fire allegedly started on the grounds of a parking lot.
In the Desnianskyi district, drone debris fell on open ground near a school, Kyiv Mayor Vitaliy Klitschko said on Telegram.
Drone debris was also recorded falling on open ground in the Sviatoshynskyi district. Information on damage and casualties is being clarified, the administration said.
Explosions were heard in the capital around 10 a.m. Ukraine's Air Force warned of jet-powered drones heading toward Sviatoshyn and Pochaina, and later toward Pechersk.
Earlier, the Air Force reported a Russian overnight attack on Ukraine with 317 strike drones, as well as S8000 Banderol/Dan-T missiles. Air defenses neutralized 271 drones and five S8000 Banderol/Dan-T.
In Kremenchuk, in Poltava Oblast, seven people were injured, including a 16-year-old. Russian forces attacked a residential area and a private business. The effects of the overnight Russian attack were also recorded in Cherkasy, and the Vinnytsia, Zaporizhzhya, and other oblasts.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
