The death toll in Kyiv rose to six after Russian forces pounded the capital overnight, killing four people in the Sviatoshynskyi district, mayor Vitali Klitschko wrote on Nov. 25.
Kyiv City
Military Administration head Tymur Tkachenko confirmed the mayor's information
about civilian fatalities.
"Medical
data indicated that six people were killed in the Russian attack on the
capital," he wrote.
"Four people
were preliminarily killed at the site in the Sviatoshynskyi district, and at
least three more were injured.
“The Russians are
deliberately targeting civilian infrastructure and housing. Cynical terror,” he
added.
In total, the
number of people killed in Kyiv stands at six.
In the night of
Nov. 25, a combined attack on Kyiv led to confirmed strikes on a 22-story
residential building in the Pecherskyi district and a nine-story building in
the Dniprovskyi district, causing fires and the destruction of several floors.
Two people were
killed and seven injured in those strikes.
In the Darnytskyi district, debris fell on a private residential area, leaving a crater and damage in an open area.
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.
