The building of the Oleksandr Dovzhenko National Film Studio in Kyiv was damaged in a Russian attack in the early hours of October 7, according to Ukrainian media reports.
The strike marks the latest instance in which the historic film studio, one of Ukraine's oldest and most prominent cinema institutions, has sustained damage amid Russia's continuing attacks on the Ukrainian capital.
A repeated target
The Dovzhenko Film Studio, founded in the 1920s, has long been a significant cultural institution in Ukraine, having produced numerous films over the decades and housing archives tied to the country's cinematic history. The description of the studio as having been damaged "again" indicates this is not the first time the site has been affected by attacks since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine began in February 2022.
Details on the extent of the damage caused in the latest incident, including whether any part of the studio's archives or production facilities were affected, were not immediately available.
Russian strikes on Kyiv have periodically caused damage to residential, infrastructure and cultural sites across the city, with Ukrainian officials regularly reporting on the aftermath of such attacks, including casualties, infrastructure damage and effects on the civilian population.
No official statement detailing the scale of the damage or plans for repair had been published at the time of this report.
