Summary
Several explosions hit Kyiv around 1 a.m. on Aug. 22, minutes after an air raid alert, with preliminary reports showing one person killed and others injured.
A warehouse caught fire in the capital's Darnytskyi district, and later blasts were heard in multiple communities across Kyiv Oblast as authorities were still assessing the full damage.
The strike came just two days after Russia's large-scale Aug. 20 missile-and-drone assault on Kyiv, which killed at least 15 people and wounded dozens.
That earlier attack hit 28 locations across the city, and Zelensky said Russia had combined ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and drones to maximize damage to civilian infrastructure.
