Fortunately, none of the people of Kiev died as a result of this attack. At the same time, there is damage to a number of objects. In particular, residential buildings, a kindergarten and a school were damaged. The most serious destruction is a residential high-rise building in the Svyatoshinsky district. The mayor Vitali Klitschko, being at the site of the fall of the wreckage of one of the downed drones in the Svyatoshinsky district, told reporters about this.
The house in the area received the most damage. Significant damage was recorded to three apartments, and windows were broken in most of the other apartments in the house. It is preliminary known that the load-bearing structures of the house are not damaged, but the final conclusion will be made by the commission.
Five residents of this house were injured. Two of the victims are in the hospital, one person has been operated on.
Recall that on the night of May 8, Kyiv and the Kiev region were attacked by 35 Iranian-made Shahed-136/131 strike drones, which were launched by the Russians from the Sescha airfield in the Bryansk region. However, the Ukrainian defenders destroyed all enemy UAVs.
However, due to the wreckage of drones in the Svyatoshinsky district of Kyiv, five people were injured, debris also fell on a residential building, windows and facades were damaged. In addition, seven cars were damaged, and one car burned down.
And in the metropolitan Solomensky district, a five-ton tank was damaged, which led to a leak of diesel fuel. And in the parking lot, 15 trucks and five cars were damaged. Also, probably due to debris, a high-pressure gas pipe was damaged.
