The attack began around 2.45 a.m. from the northern direction – Russia’s Bryansk Oblast. In total, seven Iskander-M ballistic missiles and three Iskander-K cruise missiles were launched at Ukraine.
“All 10 missiles were destroyed by the air defense forces and means of the Air Force of the Ukrainian Armed Forces,” the military said in a Telegram post in the morning.
Fragments from downed missiles fell in three of the capital’s districts on the left bank of the Dnipro River – Dniprovskyi, Desnianskyi, and Darnytskyi.
In the Desnianskyi district, where casualties were reported, fragments fell on a children’s polyclinic and an adjacent high-rise building.

The attack damaged the hot water supply pipeline in the Dniprovskyi district. Emergency crews rushed to the scene.
Russia launched almost 20 missile and drone attacks on the capital city of Kyiv in May.
The latest took place in the early hours of May 30. It was the 17th attack on the capital in May and the third in 24 hours.
Russia used Iranian-made Shahed kamikaze attack drones, and falling debris in many parts of Kyiv caused destruction and a fire in a high-rise building. One person was killed and another three were injured as a result of that attack.
