Consequences of Strikes on Kyiv and Regions
As a result of the strikes from Russian missiles and drones, residents of Odesa, Dnipropetrovsk, Chernihiv, Kharkiv, Kyiv regions, as well as the capital, were left without electricity. Additionally, port infrastructure in Chornomorsk and railway facilities were also targeted.
The most powerful strike was delivered against Kyiv and the Kyiv region. As a result of damage to residential buildings in the capital, seven people were killed, and another 21 were injured.
“In the capital alone, seven people died, and another 21 were injured”.
Damaged Critical and Civil Infrastructure
Among the affected facilities was the logistics center of the Novus supermarket chain, which was opened in April last year and covers an area of over 50,000 square meters. During the attack, four drivers from supplier companies were killed. To implement this center, Novus attracted a €100 million loan from the EBRD in 2020, after which the remaining company warehouses were closed.
In Kyiv, the production facilities of the largest Ukrainian light industry enterprise, “Textile-Contact,” were also damaged. Additionally, about 70 route taxis were destroyed or damaged. In one of the capital’s printing houses, “From A to Z,” a direct hit from a Russian drone was recorded.
During the attack, several Russian drones violated the airspace of neighboring countries — Moldova and Romania. Romanian military forces deployed Eurofighter Typhoon and F-16 Fighting Falcon fighter jets to monitor the situation, while Moldovan military forces recorded six drones on their territory, one of which fell on the roof of a residential building in the village of Nizhni Kukureshti.
