A large crater caused by a ballistic missile was left in the Kyiv region following an overnight attack by Russia

In one of the villages in the Kyiv region, a massive crater was created by a ballistic missile strike following a massive nighttime attack by Russia. It is located near residential buildings.

 

The Russian army attacked the region throughout the night, employing combined strikes. A deep crater formed at the missile’s impact site, and the shock wave damaged nearby private homes—windows were shattered, facades were scarred, and roofs were damaged.

According to preliminary reports, emergency services, bomb disposal experts, and investigative teams are already working at the scene. They are documenting the consequences of yet another war crime committed by the Russian Federation and surveying the area for dangerous debris. Local authorities are verifying information regarding casualties and the exact extent of the damage.
