Russia Attacks Kyiv with Shahed Drones, Damaging Buildings and Injuring Civilians

In the early hours of Saturday, November 2, Russia launched a large-scale drone attack on Kyiv using “Shahed” drones, leading to extensive damage in multiple districts, fires, and civilian injuries. The assault resulted in several injuries, including at least one hospitalization, and sparked fires in residential buildings.

Debris from the intercepted drones fell across six districts, including Solomyansky, Svyatoshyn, and Dniprovsky. Residential buildings were impacted, with broken windows and damaged balconies reported.

The most severe fire occurred in a high-rise in the Svyatoshyn district, where flames covered about 50 square meters and affected the top floors. Emergency crews quickly arrived, extinguishing the fire and evacuating 18 residents.

The attack injured at least two people, one of whom was treated on-site, while the other was hospitalized. Authorities have not reported any fatalities.
