Russian missile attack on Kyiv injures two people and damages kindergarten

A Russian missile attack on Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, on 7 November left two people injured and damaged a kindergarten building. The Kyiv City Military Administration, the body that oversees the capital's security under wartime conditions, reported this on its social media accounts.

Casualties and damage

The administration said that, for now, two people are known to have been hurt in the enemy attack. They are receiving the necessary medical assistance. The source gives no details on the victims' ages, identities or condition.

In addition, a kindergarten building was damaged in the Solomianskyi district, one of Kyiv's administrative districts. The report does not specify how extensive the damage is.

What happened earlier

Earlier in the same night leading into 7 November, Russian forces struck Kyiv with ballistic missiles. That attack damaged a residential building. The latest information about the kindergarten and the two injured people adds to the picture of the attack's consequences.

The strikes are part of Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine, in which attacks on the capital also affect civilian infrastructure. The report does not say whether anyone was inside the kindergarten when it was hit. Authorities have not yet released further detailed information about the consequences of the attack.
