Kyiv,March 23, 2025
On the evening of March 22, the Russian army launched a massive attack on Kyiv, flying attack drones across the city and the region. Subsequently, the head of the Kyiv MVA, Timur Tkachenko, reported that a drone had fallen in the Podil district. Around midnight, it was reported that a drone had hit an apartment building in the Dniprovskyi district, causing a fire on the upper floors.
The fall of debris was also recorded in Holosiivskyi district. At 02:55, the State Emergency Service reported two deaths, and in the morning the number of victims increased to three - including a five-year-old child, his father, and an 80-year-old woman who lived on the top floor of the house.
Ten other people were injured, the youngest victim being just 11 months old. According to Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko, one of the injured remains in hospital. The fire was extinguished only after five hours. In the morning, the debris was still being cleared in the Dniprovsky district, with rescue services working on the scene and local residents assisting them.
Dnipro, March 28, 2025
On the evening of March 28, Russia attacked Dnipro with attack drones. The Russian attack did not go without consequences - there was damage and destruction, and fires broke out. As a result, people were injured. This was reported by the State Emergency Service.
It is noted that the massive strike on the city caused large-scale destruction and fires. A hotel and restaurant complex, 11 private houses, garages, and a service station were on fire. High-rise buildings and 21 cars were damaged. In turn, the head of the Dnipropetrovs'k Regional Military Administration, Serhiy Lysak, said that the youngest victims were 19 years old, and the oldest was 74. As of this morning, 13 victims remain in hospitals.
"There is a lot of destruction and fire in the city as a result of the UAV attack. Multi-storey buildings and private houses, infrastructure facilities were damaged, a well-known hotel and restaurant complex caught fire," added Lysak.
Kharkiv, March 29, 2025
On the evening of March 29, Russian terrorists once again violated international humanitarian law by attacking a military hospital in Kharkiv. The attack killed two people in the city - a 67-year-old man and a 70-year-old woman. Another 35 people were injured, including five children. The damaged buildings include residential buildings, a shopping center, a college and a hostel for internally displaced persons.
According to the State Emergency Service, the attacks occurred in Kholodnohirsky, Shevchenkivsky and Kyivsky districts of Kharkiv. A total of six fires were reported. The attack destroyed and damaged 24 private and 12 apartment buildings, office buildings, commercial facilities, garages, and 13 cars.
One of the hits occurred directly to a private residential building and completely destroyed it. As a result, a fire broke out over an area of 100 square meters. Rescuers unblocked the injured man and the body of the deceased woman from the rubble. Firefighting and rubble removal are ongoing.
Oleh Syniehubov, the head of the JFO, confirmed the deaths of two people and said that the Russians had also attacked a military hospital in Kharkiv.
Kharkiv-based documentary photographer Ivan Samoilov notes that the tactics of attacks on the city have recently changed.
"Earlier, in 2024, it was mostly KABs or missiles that flew, but in the last two months, missiles have been arriving very rarely. Instead, the Russians are using large groups of kamikaze drones. They use this practice against other cities as well," he says.
Samoilov adds that it is more difficult to withstand such attacks psychologically, because the missile arrives quickly and the drones circle the city for a long time, causing a lot of moral tension.
More than 1,300 CABs and 1,000 attack drones in a week
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy noted that over the past week, most regions of the country have been under attack by Russian troops. During this time, the enemy used 1,310 guided aerial bombs, more than 1,000 attack drones, among which Shahids predominated, as well as nine missiles of various types, including ballistic missiles.
“Our air defense soldiers, mobile fire groups and all units involved in the defense of the sky managed to shoot down a significant part of them,” Zelenskyy emphasized. He also emphasized that Russia is dragging out the war, and Ukraine provides its partners with all information about the strikes and the enemy's preparations for new attacks. The President expects a response from the United States, Europe and all allies to this terror against the Ukrainian people.
