The fire follows a large-scale military operation involving missiles and strike drones in the Ukrainian capital. Four people are reported dead, and 28 are injured, including children and a pregnant woman. At least 140,000 consumers are without electricity due to damage to power grids. Residential buildings, the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, the Mystetskyi Arsenal Museum Complex, the Dovzhenko Film Studio, and the building of the High Anti-Corruption Court sustain damage.
