As a result of the overnight Russian attack on Kyiv in the early hours of Saturday, October 25, one person was killed and ten others were injured, according to Kyiv City Military Administration head Tymur Tkachenko.Emergency services are currently working at the sites of impact to eliminate the aftermath and assist the victims. The missile attack began in the early morning, with a series of ballistic missiles launched at Kyiv simultaneously with an assault by attack drones.Explosions rocked the city, and fires broke out in the Dniprovskyi, Desnianskyi, and Darnytskyi districts on the left bank of the capital. Preliminary reports say non-residential buildings, cars, and windows in residential houses were damaged.“Preliminarily, the attack caused shattered windows, damaged cars, and a crater in the courtyard of a residential building,” Tkachenko wrote. Aviation units were deployed to help extinguish the fires.

Espreso correspondent Kateryna Halko visited the Desnianskyi district of Kyiv and reported on the ongoing emergency response efforts.“The fire is still burning here. Rescuers have been trying to extinguish it for several hours. Food warehouses are on fire, and the smoke is visible from far away. State Emergency Service helicopters have been working continuously for at least half an hour,” Halko said.“Rescue helicopters are flying back and forth, trying to put out the fire from above. It’s partly working — the smoke is subsiding, though it’s still visible. Emergency services and police remain on site,” she added.
