Meanwhile, Russian strikes also caused casualties and damage in the Kyiv region. Timur Tkachenko, head of the Kyiv Regional Military Administration, said a man sustained shrapnel wounds in the Boryspil district and was hospitalized for treatment.

The attack also damaged warehouses, an administrative building, a store, and several small commercial structures in the district. Emergency services are working at the affected sites, while authorities continue to assess and document the damage.

A second person was injured in the Obukhiv district later in the morning. According to Tkachenko, a woman suffered an acute stress reaction and received medical assistance at the scene.

A private house also caught fire in the Obukhiv district as a result of the attack, while a vehicle was damaged.

The overnight strikes follow a series of recent Russian aerial attacks on both regions. Russian aerial attacks targeted Kyiv and Odesa, with previous strikes hitting a university in the Ukrainian capital while classes were underway and damaging residential buildings and infrastructure in the southern port city.
