Widows are shattered by an overnight Russian attack in the Podilskyi district. On Thursday night, September 24, Russian forces launched a ballistic missile strike on Kyiv, followed by drone assaults on the capital and region. By morning, two people were confirmed killed and eight injured. The attack caused fires and destruction across several districts, damaging medical facilities, apartment blocks, private homes, and vehicles. The maternity hospital in the Podilskyi district sustained damage to windows, doors, and parts of the facade from the first to fifth floors, as well as to windows in the laundry and boiler rooms. Patients, children, and medical staff were unharmed, having moved to the shelter, where a baby boy was born during the missile strike. One person was found dead in the parking lot near the medical facility. The adjacent clinical diagnostic centre was also affected.
