On the night of Saturday, 8 November 2025, the enemy launched a massive attack on the Kyiv region with missiles and drones. Peaceful settlements and energy system facilities were hit.
This was reported by Censor.NET with reference to the press centre of the Kyiv Regional State Administration.
There is one casualty
Unfortunately, a woman was injured in the attack in the Vyshhorod district. She was hospitalised at a local hospital with shrapnel wounds to her thigh. All necessary medical assistance is being provided.
Damage in several districts
According to the Regional State Administration, private residential buildings and cars were damaged in the Boryspil and Vyshhorod districts.
All emergency services are on site, and work is continuing to assess and eliminate the consequences of the enemy attack.
"The terrorist country is deliberately attacking critical infrastructure, trying to leave us without light and heat. It strikes peaceful settlements at night, trying to intimidate and sow panic. They will not succeed. We are strong, we stand shoulder to shoulder, and therefore we are unbreakable," said Mykola Kalashnyk, head of the Kyiv Regional State Administration.
According to the State Emergency Service, the Russians targeted the Vyshhorod, Obukhiv, Bucha, and Boryspil districts.
- Four people were injured in the Vyshhorod district due to falling debris from an enemy UAV.
- In the Obukhiv and Bucha districts, firefighters extinguished fires at infrastructure facilities caused by a missile attack.
All emergency services are working on the ground. Information is being verified.
