Fires have broken out in two areas; there are casualties.

On the night of July 8, Russian forces attacked Kyiv with ballistic missiles—for the third time in a week, following attacks on July 2 and 6. A series of explosions rocked the capital even before the air raid alert was issued. Air raid alerts were issued three times in the capital throughout the night.

Russia’s ballistic missile strike caused fires in the Desniansky and Svyatoshinsky districts of the capital.

In the Svyatoshynsky district, a fire broke out in an administrative building and storage facilities. Two people were injured; one of them was hospitalized.

At another location, a garage cooperative was on fire. An administrative building and trams were also damaged as a result of the shelling.

A fire broke out in warehouse facilities in the Desnianskyi district.

“At this time, the fires at all other locations have been contained,” the State Emergency Service added.

So far, two people are known to have been injured in the capital. One of them has been hospitalized.
