Russian missile destroys Kyiv kindergarten, hits playground

A Russian missile strike destroyed a two-story kindergarten building in Kyiv's Solomianskyi district during the night of Saturday, November 7, with the rocket hitting the playground, according to the facility's head. The kindergarten's director told NV that damage is critical, with the half near the road more stable while the other side suffered destruction to both buildings and the kindergarten. A guard sheltering during the attack was unharmed, and 58 children will be temporarily relocated to a neighboring facility. The attack was part of a combined Russian strike on Ukraine involving 36 ballistic missiles and 172 drones, targeting energy infrastructure in Kyiv. Six people were injured, including a 14-year-old girl, while power, heating, and water outages occurred, and the Pivnichnyi Bridge was damaged.
