According to Рубрика — Суспільство: On the night of November 6 and into November 7, Russian forces launched a series of missile and drone strikes across the Kyiv region, resulting in the death of a 66-year-old man and injuries to two others. The assaults caused extensive destruction to residential homes, energy facilities, businesses, and critical civilian infrastructure across five districts. In Kyiv city itself, the Northern Bridge and several infrastructure elements suffered damage.

The initial missile strikes began on the evening of November 6, followed by another attack around 1 a.m. on November 7 targeting Kyiv’s suburbs. Explosions were reported in the capital around 3 a.m. The Russian offensive employed ballistic missiles alongside attack drones. In Bohdanivka, located in the Brovary district, a drone strike demolished a private residence. Rescue teams pulled a man from the rubble who sustained multiple shrapnel wounds to his head and torso, along with facial burns. Despite medical intervention and hospitalization in Brovary district, the 66-year-old succumbed to his injuries. Additionally, one woman was treated on site for an acute stress reaction and two others were wounded.

This violent episode is part of the broader Russian military aggression against Ukraine, which continues to take a heavy toll on civilians and critical infrastructure. Ukrainian authorities are urging the international community to increase support and respond urgently to the humanitarian needs of affected areas, as many residents face dire conditions amid ongoing conflict.

The recent attacks not only resulted in tragic civilian casualties but also inflicted severe damage on critical infrastructure. As a consequence, the energy supply in the region has faced significant disruptions.
