A Russian drone struck a building in central Kyiv, setting it on fire and forcing people inside to flee, Rzeczpospolita reported on Monday. The outlet said the attack hit the city center, and that people were seen escaping the burning structure.
Other Polish outlets carried similar accounts. WP Wiadomości reported that the strike hit the Academy of Sciences in Kyiv, and quoted people saying they wanted to jump from the windows to escape. Gazeta reported a large explosion and a fire at the building, adding that people were still inside at the time.
The strike was part of a wider wave of attacks. Interia Wydarzenia reported a swarm of drones over Ukrainian cities and said there were victims, describing a firm response from President Volodymyr Zelensky. Wiadomości Onet reported that at least four people were killed in the massed attacks on Ukraine.
The reports did not specify how many people were hurt or killed in the Kyiv building itself, and no casualty figure for that site was given in the material available.
The accounts come from Polish news organizations and could not be independently verified from the information provided.
What to watch next: whether Ukrainian authorities release official casualty figures and damage assessments for the Kyiv site, and how the government responds to the latest wave of strikes.
