According to the military administration, the drone strike caused "significant damage" to a unit in the apartment building in the Holosiyvski district of the city.
The military administration also reported a large fire nearby caused by falling drone debris at an auto repair shop. Emergency responders are currently en route to extinguish the blaze.
Multiple explosions were heard in the outskirts of Kyiv around 1 a.m. local time, according to a Kyiv Independent journalist on the ground.
Ukraine's Air Force warned throughout the night that Russian attack drones were in the vicinity of the city.
Around 6 a.m. local time, Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko posted on Telegram that wreckage also fell in the Pechersk district and caused a fire on the 33rd floor of a residential building. The fire was contained shortly after.
Wreckage from the ongoing attack has also fallen in the Podil district, where a two-story house caught fire, in the Obolon district, where a business center caught fire on the upper floors, and in the Solomianskyi district, where debris fell both in a yard of a private home, and onto a private medical facility.
One person was hospitalized in the Solomianskyi district following the attack. No further details are currently available.
The most recent attack is the latest in a series of drone strikes targeting civilian infrastructure in Ukraine’s capital.
