On Friday evening, a drone struck a building in the Solomianskyi district, one of the right-bank districts of Kyiv, located in the central-western part of the city.
The mayor of Kyiv, Vitali Klitschko, reported that a girl born in 2009 was killed in the attack. Five people were injured, four of whom were treated at the scene, and one required hospitalisation.
He specified that the fire affected flats on the top floors of the high-rise.
