Russian drone strikes on Kyiv on the morning of Sept. 2 injured at least seven people, hit a six-story residential building and damaged a medical facility in Shevchenkivskyi district, and caused a fire at an educational institution in Holosiivskyi district, authorities reported.
The strikes came amid the seventh consecutive day of almost uninterrupted Russian attacks on the Ukrainian capital.
Among the injured are two doctors who have been hospitalized, Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said.
The fire at an educational facility comes a day after thousands of Ukrainian children started the new school year on Sept. 1. Amid the Russian attack, some Ukrainian school children spent their second morning of classes sheltered in metro stations.
In the Holosiivskyi district a Russian drone hit a warehouse, according to Klitschko.
By the morning of Sept. 2, Russian attacks overnight had already injured at least two people, according to head of the Kyiv City Military Administration, Timur Tkachenko.
Overnight on Sept. 1, at least 12 people were killed and 21 others injured in Kyiv and the surrounding oblast, as Russia launched a ballistic missile attack amid a days-long drone barrage against the capital.
