A third consecutive night of Russian drone strikes on Kyiv hit residential buildings in at least three districts, with Mayor Klitschko confirming a direct hit on an apartment block in Obolonsky as air-defence units struggled to intercept the dispersed wave.

Desk note: Monexus led with Telegram-sourced municipal and emergency services accounts rather than lead framing from Russian sources. Ukrainian official channels provided the most granular district-level detail, which wire services later confirmed. The article names Klitschko directly on the Obolonsky residential strike per the operativnoZSU source.
