State Emergency Service reveals damage from Russian shelling in Kyiv — photos
A Russian drone attack in Kyiv damaged a residential building and other structures in the Pecherskyi and Sviatoshynskyi districts, the State Emergency Service reported on Jan. 1.
In Kyiv’s Pecherskyi district, a Russian drone strike partially destroyed the 4th to 6th floors of a residential building, sparking a fire on the 4th and 5th floors that covered about 70 square meters, according to the State Emergency Service.
A woman was rescued, and the fire has been localized, though efforts to fully extinguish it continue.
Another fire broke out on the roof of a nearby non-residential building and is being contained.
In the Sviatoshynskyi district, garages were damaged, and a fire engulfed 20 square meters.
During the New Year's Eve attack, air raid alerts were declared across several oblasts as Russian forces launched mortars and missiles at Ukraine.
Kyiv Mayor Vitaliy Klitschko reported that four people were injured in the strikes, two of whom required hospitalization, with most injuries occurring in the Pecherskyi district.
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.
