According to the mayor, a missile hit a private house in Darnytskyi district. In Holosiivskyi and Desnianskyi districts, strikes were recorded on non-residential buildings. In Dniprovskyi district, debris fell near a residential building.
By morning, Klitschko clarified that one of the injured was hospitalized in serious condition, while the other received outpatient medical care. Police added that the casualties were a man and a woman.
The Kyiv City Military Administration later specified that a 45-year-old man sustained an explosive head and limb injury, while a 20-year-old woman suffered a laceration to her hand.
Following the massive attack, nearly 2,600 residential buildings in the capital lost heating due to damage to critical infrastructure facilities targeted by the enemy, Klitschko reports. Multi-story buildings on both the left and right banks of the city were affected, including in Desnianskyi, Dniprovskyi, Pecherskyi, and Solomianskyi districts.
Utility workers have begun restoring heat supply.
More than 1,100 high-rise buildings in Dniprovskyi and Darnytskyi districts remain without heat following previous strikes. Heat supply cannot currently be restored there due to critical damage to the Darnytska thermal power plant.
On 3 February, the Darnytska thermal power plant in Kyiv sustained critical damage, and restoring its systems and equipment will take at least two months, provided there are no further Russian strikes. Specialists assessed the damage and compiled a list of over 1,100 high-rise buildings that will remain without heat until the thermal power plant is restored.
Russian forces also launched a massive drone attack on Odesa overnight on 12 February, damaging infrastructure and injuring one person, according to Odesa Military Administration chief Serhiy Lysak. A fire broke out at an infrastructure facility, a 9-story residential building sustained damage to its facade and roof with a fire on the top floor, and market pavilions and a supermarket were hit. Emergency psychologists provided assistance to 23 residents. Utility services cleared debris and covered windows with film.
