Russian drones batter Ukraine’s Kyiv region, hitting apartments and warehouses for a second day

Ukrainian officials said Russia attacked the Kyiv region 38 times in 24 hours, damaging warehouses, homes and apartment blocks and killing at least one person.

  • On Friday, Russia launched waves of drones at Kyiv and the surrounding region for a second consecutive day, damaging warehouses and homes in what officials said was an attempt to derail daily life for millions of residents.
  • Russian forces are deploying small, jet-powered drones in waves to paralyze the capital and exhaust air defenses, according to Andrii Kovalenko, head of Ukraine's Centre for Countering Disinformation , a branch of the National Security Council.
  • Governor Tymur Tkachenko, head of the Kyiv regional military administration, reported strikes damaged 14 warehouses, 16 homes, and three apartment buildings. A 'double tap' tactic targeted emergency crews, killing one person and wounding two others.
  • Kyiv region authorities warned of deteriorating air quality following the attacks, advising residents to limit outdoor exposure and keep windows closed. Ongoing strikes continue disrupting civilian life and critical logistics infrastructure.
  • Attacks on energy and logistics infrastructure forced Ukraine's Ministry of Economy to revise 2026 GDP growth forecasts downward from around 1.3% to 0.8%. Meanwhile, 512 Ukrainian drones were intercepted over Russia, as dueling aerial strikes persist.
