According to the Kyiv City Military Administration, the strikes targeted multiple districts, with the Solomianskyi, Sviatoshynskyi, and Holosiivskyi areas among the hardest hit.

Timur Tkachenko, head of the Kyiv City Military Administration, stated on Telegram that the number of victims had reached 52, with nearly 30 hospitalized—including nine children.

"Unfortunately, the number will continue to grow. Two Kyiv residents were killed as a result of a targeted strike by Russian terrorists. This is also probably not the final number," Tkachenko warned.

Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko later confirmed 48 injured, with 29 requiring hospitalization. Earlier reports had indicated 27 victims, 17 of whom were hospitalized, while others received on-site treatment.

The attack damaged at least 27 locations across the capital, with residential areas heavily affected.
