Combined strike on Kyiv: two people killed, number of casualties rises to 52

According to Ukrinform, this was reported by the Head of the Kyiv City Military Administration, Timur Tkachenko, on Telegram.

“We have 52 victims, almost 30 of whom are in hospitals. Among them are nine children. Unfortunately, the number will continue to grow. Two Kyiv residents were killed as a result of a targeted strike by Russian terrorists. This is also probably not the final number,” he wrote.

Later, Timur Tkachenko updated the information about casualties; two people died in the Solomianskyi District.

In total, Kyiv has suffered the consequences of a Russian combined attack on more than 27 locations. The Solomyanskyi, Sviatoshynskyi, and Holosiivskyi districts were particularly affected.
