Russian forces struck a residential apartment building in Kyiv with a drone on Thursday morning. A 14-year-old boy was killed in the attack, while seven other people were injured, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said.
A fire broke out at the site of the strike and has since been extinguished. Emergency crews continue to deal with the aftermath of the attack.
“An absolutely savage and sickening strike, devoid of any military logic,” Zelensky said, expressing condolences to the boy’s family and loved ones.
The president also said that eight Ukrainian regions had come under Russian attack since the start of the day. In Odesa, one person was killed in a second strike on a postal terminal. In Zaporizhzhia, Russian forces struck a medical clinic while people were inside. Injuries were also reported in the Sumy and Mykolaiv regions.
