Fires erupted in the capital’s Sviatoshynskyi district, where a five-story non-residential building and a garage complex were set ablaze, while a market caught fire in the Obolonskyi district. In the surrounding Kyiv region, a private home was destroyed, leaving five people injured, including a child. Photos released by Kyiv’s emergency service showed firefighters spraying water into heavily damaged buildings and working through piles of rubble as rescue operations continued.
Lviv also came under attack, with multiple explosions reported across the city. Residential high-rises on Paton and Vyhovskoho streets caught fire, injuring 15 people, 14 of whom were hospitalized, regional governor Maksym Kozytskyi said. Rescue crews continued searching through the rubble as residents joined efforts to clear debris. “People remain trapped beneath the collapsed building on Paton Street. The rescue operation is ongoing,” Lviv Mayor Andriy Sadovyi said.
