Russian drones targeted Kyiv during an overnight attack on Oct. 30, city authorities reported.

Nine people were injured in the incident, including an 11-year-old girl, according to Mayor Vitali Klitschko.

Debris from a drone attack had fallen in Kyiv's Solomianskyi district, causing a fire in a multi-story residential building, the Kyiv City Military Administration said.

Eighteen residents were evacuated from their apartments. The fire has since been extinguished.

"Rescue services are working on the spot. Medics are also on duty on the spot," Klitschko wrote on Telegram.

Just a few days ago, a Russian suicide drone hit a 25-story residential building in the same district on Oct. 25, killing a teenage girl and injuring five people.
