Sadly, one person has died,” Tymur Tkachenko, the head of Kyiv’s military administration, said on Telegram. Officials earlier reported that rescuers had pulled 10 people from under the rubble after part of a residential building collapsed. The sole confirmed fatality and the majority of injuries occurred in the eastern Darnytskyi district, where a high-impact strike severely compromised a multi-story residential building, causing a partial structural collapse. Local emergency crews, supported by heavy machinery and search dogs, continue digging through concrete panels to locate tenants trapped beneath the debris field. Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko confirmed that municipal medical teams have set up a triage point near the collapse site to treat incoming wounded. City officials warn that the number of casualties is expected to fluctuate as search and rescue operations enter their final phases across six affected municipal districts.
