Obolonskyi district
A 22-year-old man was injured in the Obolonskyi district.
University and dormitories
Missiles also fell on the grounds of an educational institution. They damaged buildings of one of the universities, dormitories and nearby houses. Mayor Vitali Klitschko said most of the victims were students from a dormitory. Early reports put the number of injured at 10, and nine of them were taken to hospital.
In the Podilskyi district, a missile hit an administrative building. Non-residential buildings were damaged at two more addresses. A car near one of the metro stations was also hit.
Pivdennyi Bridge and metro
The Pivdennyi (Southern) Bridge was also hit. Specialists are assessing the damage, and traffic on the bridge has stopped. Klitschko posted photos showing a damaged road surface, a crash barrier and metro structures.
Metro services have changed. On the red line, trains run between Akademmistechko and Lisova, and all stations are open. On the green line, trains run between Syrets and Vydubychi, but service between Osokorky and Chervony Khutir has stopped. Late in the evening, the section between Darnytsia and Chernihivska and the exits of Lisova were damaged. The metro ran all night to keep trains moving. During an air raid alert, all underground stations serve as shelters.
The city put on extra buses to help people cross between the left and right banks.
Dniprovskyi district
The State Emergency Service says a three-storey non-residential building in the Dniprovskyi district was partly destroyed, from the roof to the basement.
Russia has been fighting a full-scale war against Ukraine since February 2022, and its strikes on Kyiv hit civilians.
