Tuesday, November 25, 2025 -Kyiv came under a massive drone-and-missile strike in the early hours of November 25, 2025, when Russian forces launched a wave of rockets and suicide drones that shook the capital.
According to Kyiv’s military administration head, Tymur Tkachenko, at least one person was killed and seven others wounded after a residential high‑rise on the east bank of the Dnipro River was struck. Firefighters rescued 17 people from the building, which suffered fires on its 6th and 7th floors. Another high-rise in Pechersk — centrally located — also caught fire, and debris from destroyed drones was discovered in an eastern district.
Mayor Vitali Klitschko said the attack caused serious disruption across the city: water and power supplies were cut off in many neighborhoods, adding to the distress of residents already living under the constant threat of air raids. Sirens wailed repeatedly and anti-air defenses were activated — yet a portion of the missiles and drones got through, striking civilian areas.
Residents were urged to stay in shelters as damage assessments proceed, but the mayor warned of a likely rise in the death toll once rescue crews finish their work. The assault underscores a grim reality: Moscow continues to strike not just military sites, but deeply civilian ones — apartment blocks, infrastructure, and energy systems — even as winter approaches.
