Missile fragments fell on school grounds in Solomianskyi district — Kyiv City Military Administration spokesperson

On the night and morning of October 7, Russia attacked Kyiv with drones and ballistic missiles. Debris fell across several areas, including three districts of the capital. In the Solomianskyi district, debris damaged the roof of a residential building and fell on school grounds, though the school itself was not struck.

Mykhailo Shamanov, spokesperson for the Kyiv City Military Administration, reported this on Hromadske Radio.

«At 8:30 a.m., Russia launched a missile attack on Kyiv. According to preliminary information, these were Kinzhal air-launched ballistic missiles fired from MiG-31K aircraft.»

Shamanov confirmed that the missiles were intercepted and destroyed, but debris fell in the Solomianskyi, Holosiivskyi, and Shevchenkivskyi districts of Kyiv.

In the Solomianskyi district, debris damaged the roof of a multi-storey residential building, with fragments also landing on a supermarket roof and the grounds of a school. The school building itself was unharmed. The rest of the debris fell in open areas and on roadways. In the Holosiivskyi district, debris damaged a car roof, while in the Shevchenkivskyi district, fragments fell only in open areas. No casualties were reported.

Earlier in the night, Kyiv was attacked by drones. According to a City Administration spokesperson, this was the fourth attack on the capital since the beginning of October. The drones approached from various directions. This prompted three air alerts, which lasted over two hours in total. Air defence forces successfully destroyed all the drones, with wreckage falling in the Kyiv region.

Mykhailo Shamanov urged residents not to touch missile and drone debris, should they find any nearby, but to call law enforcement instead.

«Missile and drone wreckage poses an immediate danger. We strongly urge citizens not to take any action themselves, but to notify the police or the State Emergency Service. Missile debris, for example, may contain toxic fuel. All debris should be handled by experts from the Kyiv Scientific Research Institute of Forensic Expertise.»

Shamanov noted that analyzing the wreckage can help identify where certain parts were manufactured, when they were produced, and what materials were used.
