Russian strikes on Ukraine capital wound at least 8: city officials
Russia struck the Ukrainian capital with missiles and drones on Saturday (October 25, 2025), Kyiv authorities said, damaging buildings and homes in multiple districts and wounding at least eight people.
"Explosions in the capital. The city is under a ballistic attack," Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said on Telegram.
"There are currently 8 wounded people in the capital," he said in a separate post, adding three of them had been hospitalised. He said "large fires" were burning in non-residential buildings in the Desnyansky and Darnytsky districts.
Tymur Tkachenko, the head of the city's military administration, said damage had occurred in Dniprovsky district as well. He reported an unspecified number of wounded.
The attack comes as Kyiv's Western allies ratchet up pressure on Russia as the war enters its fourth winter.
On Friday, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer urged allies to bolster Kyiv's long-range missile capability, a day after EU leaders took steps towards funding Ukraine's defence for another two years.
The United States and European Union also announced new sanctions this week on Russian energy aimed at crippling its war economy.
