Russia attacks Kyiv Oblast with drones, 12-year-old child injured by falling debris
A boy born in 2012 has a suspected concussion and a lacerated thigh wound
A Russian drone attack on Kyiv Oblast overnight has left a child injured and caused a fire, damaging local infrastructure, according to regional governor Mykola Kalashnyk.
A child born in 2012 was injured due to the fall of debris from a downed Russian drone in one of the settlements in Kyiv Oblast.
"The boy has a suspected concussion and a laceration on his thigh. He has been hospitalized, and all necessary medical assistance is being provided," Kalashnyk wrote.
The fall of the drone debris also caused a fire that engulfed a café-shop and an adjacent boiler room, covering an area of approximately 200 square meters. The fire has since been contained. The explosion also damaged windows in a nearby building.
- On January 15, Russia launched a massive missile attack on Ukraine, including the use of Kalibr missiles, primarily targeting western regions. Emergency power outages were implemented in six Ukrainian regions but were later lifted.
