Overnight attacks on Kyiv and Dnipro caused damage to several well-known cultural and civilian sites. Among the affected locations were the Assumption Cathedral of the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, a Nova Poshta terminal, the House of Organ and Chamber Music in Dnipro, and the Dovzhenko Film Studio. Footage from the aftermath shows damaged buildings, shattered facades, and debris following another night of large-scale strikes on Ukrainian cities.
Overnight strikes across Kharkiv Oblast caused multiple civilian casualties in both Kharkiv and Chuhuiv. In Kharkiv, at least 15 people were injured, including three children - an 11-year-old girl, a 16-year-old girl, and a one-year-old boy. In Chuhuiv, missile strikes reportedly killed at least three people, among them a 22-year-old pregnant woman. Six more people were injured in the attack. Emergency services and rescue crews continued working at the impact sites through the night and morning hours.
A drone strike hit a residential high-rise building in the Dniprovskyi district of Kyiv, causing a large fire that destroyed 36 apartments. According to local authorities, at least 8 people were injured in the attack. An 86-year-old woman was killed at the scene, while later emergency crews discovered the burned body of a man inside the damaged building. Footage from the area shows severe fire damage and destroyed sections of the residential complex following the impact.
Volunteers monitoring aerial threats through a live tracking system recorded the moment a Russian drone reportedly struck a civilian bus stop. The footage and tracking data show the UAV approaching the area shortly before impact. Images from the scene reveal severe destruction around the stop and surrounding civilian infrastructure. The incident is part of another reported attack affecting non-military locations during ongoing drone strikes across populated areas.
A strike in Kherson hit an area near a children’s playground, leaving multiple civilians injured. According to preliminary reports, two children aged 3 and 6, along with their mother, were wounded in the attack. The father was killed at the scene. Emergency services responded shortly after the impact as footage and photos from the location began circulating online. The incident adds to a growing number of reported strikes affecting civilian areas and residential infrastructure in the region.
As of 10:00 a.m., Ukrainian emergency officials reported 2 people killed and 40 injured in Kyiv following a massive overnight Russian attack. Rescue teams have already saved 28 people from the affected areas.
According to the State Emergency Service, the strike hit five districts of the capital. Emergency workers, dog handlers, and psychologists remain at the scene, while rescuers have already removed more than 20 cubic meters of debris and evacuated five damaged vehicles.
Officials reported that two UAVs struck the central part of the city, with one of the confirmed impacts hitting a kindergarten building.
The strike adds to the growing number of attacks on civilian infrastructure, once again putting non-military sites in the direct path of drone warfare.
Kostiantynivka remains under round-the-clock Russian fire as the city continues to be systematically destroyed. Drone operators of the Phoenix border guard unit documented another attack, capturing evidence of Russian forces dropping heavy aerial bombs on the city during the night.
According to the footage, residential neighborhoods were among the targets once again. The strike adds to the growing record of attacks on civilian areas in one of the most heavily battered cities in the Donetsk region.
The humanitarian situation in occupied Oleshky has reportedly deteriorated sharply. Since April 15, the city has effectively been under blockade. Vehicles carrying gas and food reportedly hit mines — the drivers survived, but since then no one has been willing to risk entering the city.
Food and basic goods are now in extremely short supply. To buy essentials, residents are forced to travel to Skadovsk via a mined “road of death” that remains under fire. People reportedly carry other people’s bank cards and pay a fee just to withdraw cash.
Around 50 children are still believed to remain in the city.
This footage reportedly shows the aftermath of an attack that killed civilians who were trying to evacuate on their own.
