A Russian overnight air attack on Kyiv and the surrounding Kyiv region killed two civilians and damaged a medical facility, according to Reuters on January 5.
Ukraine’s State Emergency Service said a strike set ablaze a medical facility in Kyiv’s Obolonskyi district where an inpatient ward was operating, and that rescuers later found a body inside after extinguishing the fire.

In the Kyiv region, strikes hit towns and villages, damaging homes and critical infrastructure and killing a civilian in the Fastiv district southwest of the capital, Governor Mykola Kalashnyk said.
Kalashnyk added that parts of the region were left without electricity, while Ukrainian media cited him as saying the city of Slavutych lost power and critical infrastructure was switched to backup supply.
Earlier, Russian forces carried out a heavy coordinated missile and drone attack on Kyiv and surrounding districts, damaging residential buildings, energy infrastructure, triggering fires, injuring civilians, and killing at least one woman in Bila Tserkva as emergency teams responded across multiple locations.
