Rescuers worked throughout the city, with many sheltering in underground facilities. The Podilskyi and Darnytskyi districts were heavily hit, with emergency responses active and air defenses engaged to protect citizens.

In a pre-dawn assault, Russian missiles and drones unleashed destruction on the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv, striking multiple residential areas and claiming at least three lives according to Tymur Tkachenko, head of the city's military administration.
