Russian Attack on Kyiv Leaves One Dead, Eight Injured

A Russian attack on Kyiv left one person dead and eight others injured, Ukrainian outlet Ukrinform reported. A man who was injured in the strike later died at a Kyiv hospital, according to the update.

Details on the exact location and nature of the strike within the Ukrainian capital were not fully specified in the available report, nor was the current condition of the eight people injured.

Continued attacks on the capital

Kyiv has faced repeated Russian strikes since the start of Moscow's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, with attacks targeting energy infrastructure, residential buildings and other sites across the city at various points during the war.

Ukrainian authorities have consistently condemned such strikes as attacks on civilians, while Russian officials have said their forces target sites linked to Ukraine's military capabilities.

Emergency services were reported to have responded to the scene following the attack. Ukrainian officials had not released further details on the overall extent of damage in the capital as a result of the strike at the time of the report.

This report reflects an update to an earlier account of the attack, according to Ukrinform, indicating that the death toll rose after a previously injured victim died from his wounds.
