The attack also caused damage to nearby shops and buildings, with smashed windows and debris scattered across the area. Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko described the destruction, saying, "A ballistic missile had a direct hit on a nine-story apartment building, a section is destroyed, and is destroyed right down to the basement." The minister's words paint a grim picture of the attack's impact.

The assault involved a barrage of drones and missiles, with the air raid siren blaring for several hours as thousands of Kyiv residents sought shelter in metro stations. The sounds of explosions and drone attacks reverberated across the city as air defense units attempted to fend off the attacks. Ukrainian authorities reported that Russia launched 440 long-range drones and 32 missiles into Ukraine overnight ¹.

As the city began to recover on Tuesday morning, a burning smell lingered in the air, and a cloud of dark smoke hung over the outskirts. The attack is one of the deadliest on Kyiv this year, and the city's residents are left to pick up the pieces and mourn the loss of life.
