A Russian drone struck a nine-storey residential building in Kyiv’s Solomianskyi district on the morning of 12 November, killing a 44-year-old woman and injuring six people, Kyiv authorities said. The strike set floors three through six on fire.

Ukrainska Pravda reported the incident, citing the Kyiv City Military Administration and Mayor Vitali Klitschko. Klitschko said emergency services were working at the building and reported preliminary partial destruction at the fifth-floor level.

The reported injury count rose during the morning: the military administration listed five injured people at 09:30, while Klitschko said at 10:09 that six had been injured. He said medics treated them at the scene.

The immediate civilian consequences should remain central to coverage: a resident was killed, six people were injured and a residential building caught fire. The supplied report does not give the victims’ medical conditions or the final extent of damage to the building.
