Fragments from downed Russian drones struck buildings in two Kyiv districts and injured one person late on Thursday (November 28, 2024), officials said.

Emergency services, in a post on the Telegram messaging app, showed pictures of rubble strewn about inside and outside a pediatric clinic in the city’s Dniprovskyi district on the east bank of the Dnipro River.

A security guard at the facility was taken to hospital. Adjacent buildings also suffered damage.

Mayor Vitali Klitschko said drone fragments had struck an infrastructure site in the Sviatoshynskyi district on the west bank of the river.

An air raid alert remained in effect in the capital more than an hour after it was declared.
