Russian ballistic missiles and drones killed one and injured 22 in Kyiv overnight, officials said, damaging an ambulance station and metro infrastructure on the South Bridge on October 22.
Four children were among the injured, and the dead person was in the Dniprovskyi district, the State Emergency Service said in a toll for six districts at 07:55 Kyiv time, the Kyiv Post reported. In the Pecherskyi district strikes damaged an ambulance station, six ambulances and a monastery, and eight people were hurt, three of them children.
"As a result of the shelling, part of the metro infrastructure on the South Bridge was damaged," Klitschko said. The city administration restricted traffic on the bridge from the right bank to the left. The bridge carries road traffic and a section of the green metro line across the Dnipro.
Russia fired Iskander-M, S-400, Zircon and Oniks missiles from the Kursk, Bryansk and Rostov regions and occupied territory, plus 210 drones, the air force said. Air defences downed or suppressed 181 of the drones, it said, NV reported, adding that no missile was shot down.
SOURCING NOTE: air force claim, preliminary as of 09:00 Kyiv time; it gave no missile count. Hits recorded at 32 locations, debris at eight (LB.ua). The OSINT account AMK Mapping claims 22-25 missiles - about 11 Iskander-M, eight RM-48U modified S-400 missiles and three Zircons - none intercepted for lack of Patriot PAC-3 interceptors, and hits on Kyiv's CHP-4 and CHP-5 heat and power plants (post, post). No official, Kyiv city or DTEK statement mentions a CHP hit at the time of writing; not confirmed.

Fire Point: Denmark is guaranteeing a DKK750mn ($113mn) loan to the Danish subsidiary of Ukrainian missile maker Fire Point through its export fund EIFO, the Kyiv Independent reported. The war stops Fire Point borrowing on normal terms in Denmark, Reuters reported.
SOURCING NOTE: Reuters named unlinked; republished by Euronext https://live.euronext.com/en/financial-news/ukraines-fire-point-gets-113-million-state-loan-guarantee-denmark . Reuters gives about $112.6mn; the Kyiv Independent $113mn. Neither says directly that the loan funds the rocket-fuel plant.

The analysis cites a drone apparently loaded with explosives found near Wunstorf air base in September.

SOURCING NOTE: WSJ named unlinked; republished by Meduza. Anonymously sourced; not confirmed. Germany formally accused Russia over Leipzig on September 1.
Tit for tat
Russia's ballistic missiles reached six Kyiv districts and the city's main river crossing overnight, and Ukraine's air force reported no missile downed. Its drones also hit a gas field in the Kharkiv region and cut power to 30,000 consumers around Dnipro.
Ukraine answered with one of its largest drone raids on Moscow, by Sobyanin's count, and drones over Lipetsk, Tula and Voronezh. Whether the Serpukhov arsenal was hit is still unconfirmed.

The ledgers
The running ledgers are kept as six public spreadsheets at permanent addresses. The first three are non-exhaustive, every row is sourced, and where only one side has spoken the row says so. Defence ministry figures are recorded as claims, and in the sabotage ledger attribution is given exactly as the authorities state it and no further. The fourth tracks what has happened to Ukraine's steel, iron ore, coke, ferroalloy and non-ferrous plants since 2021, grouped by owner. The fifth tracks strikes on data centres, telecoms, media and research sites; the sixth tracks refinery strikes.
