The facts
Russian forces launched multiple waves of ballistic missiles at Kyiv overnight from 6 into 7 November, The Kyiv Independent reported from the city. [2]
An earlier Reuters account said Kyiv officials reported two people injured and damage to a building housing a kindergarten; this was an early snapshot. [1]
AP reported that at least five people were injured in Kyiv, homes and commercial properties were damaged, traffic on a bridge over the Dnipro was closed, and new power and water outages were triggered. [3]
Kyiv city officials reported five people injured in the capital and said two were hospitalized. [4]
Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said energy facilities in Kyiv and Zhytomyr regions were damaged and that the capital faced an extremely difficult energy-supply situation affecting heating and water systems. [3][4]
Kyiv city officials said the North Bridge was damaged and closed in both directions; a later official post reported damage to the road surface and trolleybus and power lines. [4]
The full extent of injuries, property damage and the duration of power, heating and water disruption had not been established in the opened reports. [2][3][4]
The Kyiv Independent later cited Ukrainian authorities reporting at least six injured in Kyiv; its separate two-killed, 37-injured tally covers attacks across Ukraine over the previous day and cannot be assigned to this Kyiv strike. [5]
President Volodymyr Zelensky said Russia launched 36 ballistic missiles toward Kyiv and the region, of which four were intercepted, and 172 drones against Kyiv and 12 other regions; the claims are attributed to his statement as reported by AP. [3]
Zelensky said substations in Kyiv Oblast connecting the Rivne and Khmelnytskyi nuclear power plants to Kyiv and central regions were damaged; the reports do not say either nuclear plant was hit. [5]
AP reported at least nine people were wounded in missile and drone attacks across Ukraine on Saturday and said Kyiv strikes damaged homes and commercial properties and triggered power and water outages; the nine-person figure is not a Kyiv-only toll. [3]
Ukrinform and ANTIKOR reported that Dnipropetrovsk Regional Military Administration head Oleksandr Hanzha said repeated Russian attacks left more than 60,000 consumers in Dnipro without electricity; he said the attack on the region was continuing. [6][7]
Relevant context
This is a distinct overnight incident from the 227-drone Russian attack reported for 5–6 November. [2]
