Firefighters extinguished fires caused by a Russian attack on Kyiv, with no deaths or injuries reported, the city's State Emergency Service said, releasing photos from the attack sites on Nov. 9.
According to emergency responders, debris from a Russian drone fell in an open area of Kyiv's Sviatoshynskyi district. No fire broke out.
In the Desnianskyi district, an enemy drone crashed in an open area on the grounds of an educational institution. No injuries or fires were reported.
In the capital's Solomianskyi district, a strike on the grounds of a garage complex sparked a fire involving a passenger car and two garages. Emergency responders said they extinguished the blaze, which covered an area of 50 square meters (538 square feet).
The Russian attack also sparked a fire in Kyiv's Shevchenkivskyi district, where grass caught fire in an open area.
"The fire, which covered an area of 5 square meters, was quickly extinguished," Kyiv's State Emergency Service said.
Earlier, Ukraine's Air Force reported that Russia had launched 317 attack drones and S8000 Banderol/Dan-T missiles in an overnight assault on Ukraine. Air defenses intercepted or otherwise neutralized 271 drones and five S8000 Banderol/Dan-T missiles.
Seven people, including a 16-year-old, were injured in Kremenchuk, Poltava Oblast, where Russian forces targeted a residential neighborhood and a private business.
Damage from the overnight Russian attack was also reported in Cherkasy, Vinnytsia and Zaporizhzhia oblasts, as well as 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.
