The attack involved a combination of missiles and drones, targeting both civilian and military infrastructure. In Kyiv, numerous buildings suffered damage, and sadly, there were fatalities. One resident, speaking near the scene of a collapsed building, said, "It was terrifying. The explosions were constant. I saw people running, screaming." Rescue workers and emergency services were immediately deployed to the affected areas. The attack also hit Dnipro, where a private residence was damaged.
