Source: Ukraine’s State Emergency Service
The number of the injured in Pechersk district of Kyiv increased to ten people, including a 16-year-old girl.
Two people were taken to hospital and eight people received medical assistance on the spot. The information regarding a possible victim under the rubble was not confirmed.
The State Emergency Service informed that the strike ruined the three-story building of the gym with an area of 100 square meters.
Currently, the work on dismantling the debris is ongoing. In addition, the pyrotechnic unit of the State Emergency Service conducts an inspection of the site for the presence of explosive objects.
At about 10:30 am, Russian troops attacked Kyiv with two ballistic missiles launched from the occupied Crimea.
Air Force commander Mykola Oleshchuk reported that both missiles were intercepted by the Ukrainian air defense.
However, the fragments of the shot missiles hit several city districts.
Rinat Akhmetov’s Metinvest Group has completed the construction of an upgraded underground NATO Role 2 hospital in one of the hottest sectors of the frontline. This is the second stabilization point established under the Steel Front initiative in cooperation with the Medical Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The new facility, funded by Metinvest with an investment of UAH 21 million, is more secure than the first one thanks to its deeper location underground (over 6 meters) and additional fortifications.
Five armored vehicles “Kozak” have received a new mission – thanks to the support of Metinvest, they have been upgraded to full-fledged command and staff vehicles. These upgraded vehicles are now operating on the front line.
A kamikaze drone flies directly toward an armored personnel carrier. But instead of penetrating the hull, it explodes on a steel screen. The crew survives. This is the new reality for Ukrainian forces, who have received enhanced protection thanks to the Metinvest project within “Steel Front of Rinat Akhmetov”.
To commemorate the third anniversary of the full-scale invasion, “Bukvy” has compiled data on the largest donors supporting the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Among them there are charitable foundations and businesses. The list includes, in particular, foundations that provide assistance exclusively from their own resources, without fundraising (such as SCM by Rinat Akhmetov, Epicenter, etc.).
In just 1.5 months, Ukrainian specialists have created an innovative protective shell for the control modules of anti-aircraft missile systems (AMS) Patriot and Iris-T SLM. This development was another step in strengthening Ukraine’s defense capabilities, aimed at protecting key elements of the air defense system from debris damage.
