Russian forces struck Kyiv overnight on October 14, killing three people and injuring 21, according to data from Ukraine’s State Emergency Service.
A strike hit a multistory apartment building in Kyiv’s Desnianskyi district late on October 13, sparking a fire. The bodies of two people killed in the blaze were found. Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said an 8-year-old child was among those injured. Sixteen people were hospitalized, four of them in serious condition.
In Kyiv’s Holosiivskyi district, a strike on a non-residential building killed one person and injured another, the State Emergency Service said.
Klitschko also said a massive ballistic missile strike had hit energy facilities in Kyiv and the Kyiv region, triggering power outages in the capital.
Volodymyr Zelensky said Ukraine’s Western partners again failed to warn it that Russia would launch another ballistic missile strike on Kyiv on the evening of October 13. He said the main target was the city’s energy infrastructure, specifically the CHPP-4 power plant, one of Kyiv’s main energy facilities.
Russia’s Defense Ministry said on the morning of October 14 that the Russian Armed Forces had carried out a massive strike on communications and energy infrastructure facilities in Kyiv, the Kyiv region, and the Kharkiv region, which it said served the military-industrial complex and the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
Donald Trump announced on October 11 that Russia and Ukraine had agreed to a ceasefire in the energy sector. Volodymyr Zelensky said the Ukrainian Armed Forces had “received all the relevant orders” in connection with this. The Kremlin said on October 13 that contacts on the energy ceasefire were continuing, but there had been no changes so far.
