Quote from Tkachenko : "In total, we have recorded the aftermath of the Russian combined attack at over 27 locations across Kyiv. Solomianskyi district was heavily affected as well as Sviatoshynskyi, Shevchenkivskyi and Holosiivskyi.

Fifty-two people were injured, nearly 30 were hospitalised. Nine children are among them. Sadly, the number will grow. Two Kyiv residents were killed in the deliberate strike by Russian terrorists."

Details: Tkachenko assumed that the number of fatalities may also increase.

"At 04:47 I received information that the enemy once again directly targeted a residential building. Sviatoshynskyi district, a nine-storey building. An ordinary residential building... The State Emergency Service is promptly clearing the rubble. We need to reach the people who may be trapped under the ruins of the collapsed section," he said.
