Russia launched drones and missiles at Kyiv on Tuesday morning, damaging some properties with no injuries reported at the time of reporting.

At 8:18 a.m., Kyiv City Military Administration reported on Telegram that missile debris “fell on the roof of a private building” in Kyiv’s Darnytsky district with “no fire or destruction” reported. 

Later, the administration reported on Telegram at 9:57 a.m. that “three private buildings and two cars were damaged” as a result of missile debris falling in the Darnytsky district. It is unclear if the two reports referred to the same incident.
