Two schools were damaged in Ukraine’s capital on Monday following a ballistic missile attack by Russian forces. The strikes hit educational institutions in the Shevchenkivskyi and Sviatoshynskyi districts of Kyiv.

City mayor Vitali Klitschko reported, “Ahead of the new school year, the rocket attack has resulted in damage to school windows in Shevchenkivskyi and Sviatoshynskyi districts.”

Klitschko assured that municipal workers were swiftly addressing the issues, and the schools have commenced their educational activities as planned.

Debris from the downed rockets fell across eight districts of the capital after Ukraine’s air defense forces  successfully intercepted more than a dozen cruise missiles and about ten ballistic missiles, along with an attacking drone.
