The Russian military launched a mix of cruise and ballistic missiles at energy facilities across Kyiv in the early hours of Nov. 25, followed by waves of Shahed kamikaze drones.
After a series of audible explosions, residents of different districts of the capital reported power and water supply outages. Repair crews were on site, working to isolate damage and restore services as quickly as possible, local officials said on Telegram.
At 2:10 a.m., Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko reported that falling debris struck a 22-story apartment building in the Pechersk District, igniting a fire on the fourth through seventh floors. Emergency crews rushed to the scene, but details on casualties and the extent of the damage were not immediately available.
Air defenses shot down some of the incoming missiles, officials said. Shortly afterwards, dozens of enemy drones were detected heading directly toward central Kyiv from several directions.
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.
