In the Boryspil District, a private house was damaged during the attack. Preliminary reports indicate a woman was injured by glass shards; she is currently receiving the necessary medical assistance. Additionally, a fire broke out at a farm outbuilding, which rescuers promptly localized.

In the Brovary District, ten units within a garage cooperative sustained damage. The fire has been extinguished.

The Fastiv District suffered the most significant destruction, with five private houses damaged. According to preliminary information, eight people were rescued from the rubble, including one child.

“In the village of Putrivka, Fastiv District, eight people were rescued from the rubble, including a child. Unfortunately, one person died while being transported to the hospital. Five victims were hospitalized,” the SES reported.

In the Bucha District, two private houses and a car were damaged, while in the Obukhiv District, warehouse facilities and another residential building were hit. All emergency services are currently on-site, and efforts to mitigate the consequences of the shelling are ongoing.

The Odesa Oblast also came under a massive strike. Oleh Kiper, head of the Odesa Oblast Military Administration, reported drone attacks on energy infrastructure facilities. The hits resulted in large-scale fires; however, all blazes have been successfully extinguished. No deaths or injuries have been reported in the region.

In Mykolaiv, a “Shahed” drone attack damaged energy infrastructure, leaving approximately 16,000 subscribers without power. Vitalii Kim, head of the Mykolaiv Oblast Military Administration, reported that no casualties were recorded in the city. Restoration work is currently underway as energy crews and rescuers work to mitigate the fallout.

This follows a wave of strikes on the night of February 21, when Russian forces targeted the Odesa Oblast and the Sumy “hromada,” a local government area that includes one or more nearby settlements. The attack on Sumy injured three civilians, including two children. In the Odesa region, two additional injuries were reported.
