Mayor of Kyiv
As reported by the Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, Ihor Klymenko, during the night, Russian invaders fired missiles and drones at all districts of the capital.
Fifty locations in Kyiv were hit by enemy strikes: apartment and private buildings, shopping centers, educational institutions, a market, administrative buildings of the State Emergency Service and the police, and the National Chernobyl Museum.
This is a terrorist attack on objects that do not pose any threat. We have involved engineering, robotic and unmanned equipment in the elimination of the consequences. In many locations, the significant area of the fire poses a danger to rescuers, and in one of the damaged buildings, a second collapse of structures occurred this morning.

According to Klymenko, the National Museum "Chernobyl" also came under enemy attack — after a long restoration, it was opened only a month ago.
"A deliberate attack on history, memory, and truth," the minister emphasized.
