A restaurant and a residential courtyard in the Obolon district of Kiev were struck by a missile that local media and publications reported was shot down by the Ukrainian air defense system.
According to Kiev Mayor Vitali Klitschko, the incident resulted in a fire at the “Landing” restaurant building, where initial rescue efforts found four wounded individuals, including one in serious condition. Subsequent updates from the mayor indicated that the death toll in the Obolon district rose to seven people, with five others hospitalized, three of whom were in serious condition. Klitschko also noted that missile fragments fell in the courtyard of a residential building at a separate address in the district.
Additionally, the incident coincided with a broader disruption in Kiev, where electric transport, including the metro, completely stopped. The mayor attributed these transport problems to a separate strike on a power facility located in the Kiev region.
