According to Главком: In the early hours of May 14, the Kyiv region came under a large-scale attack by Russian forces, who deployed drones and missiles to target civilian areas. The aggression left people injured in the Boryspil and Fastiv districts, while destruction was reported across six districts of the region.

In the Boryspil district, five individuals were harmed. A man and a woman sustained shrapnel wounds and were taken to a local hospital, while three other women received medical treatment at the scene. In the Fastiv district, a woman born in 1984 was injured and also treated on site.

The attack's effects were widespread:

He added: “Firefighting efforts are ongoing in many areas. All emergency services are working around the clock. Together with communities and partners, we are already organizing help for people whose homes were damaged. The enemy is once again waging war against life itself, trying to sow fear and break us. But the Kyiv region has held firm and continues to stand. We will support every affected family, restore everything that was damaged, and undoubtedly grow even stronger.”

This nighttime assault underscores the severity of the threat Ukraine faces, as well as the resilience of local communities in the face of aggression. Amid the ongoing conflict, local authorities are ramping up efforts to aid victims, reflecting the population's determination to resist and support one another during difficult times.
