Smoke fills sky, locals report air contamination as Kyiv's Darnytskyi district deals with fallout from Russian attack

Debris is still smoldering at the site: the sky is covered with smoke, and it is hard to breathe. Glazing was blown out in at least four high-rise buildings here, many cars were damaged, and rescuers continue to extinguish garages.

The high-rise buildings damaged by the Russians are still under construction. In some old residential buildings nearby, windows were blown out.

Debris, apparently from a missile, lies on the ground. People passing by photograph it, and the bolder ones kick it with their foot. Attitudes toward this vary: some say it's "a trifle" — "the main thing is that we remained alive." Another woman, whose son lost his car due to the strike, cannot hold back her tears.

One of the men, driver Sviatoslav (name changed), said he lost an old car that was already "not running" and was waiting to be dismantled for parts. His other car, which was parked just around the corner, survived.

Since the buildings are not yet inhabited, those who want to see the consequences of the hit in person or owners of damaged cars gather at the site of the attack.

As the State Emergency Service reported, in Kyiv's Darnytskyi district, missile debris fell at the level of the fourth floor in one of the 25-story buildings, and in another, there was a fire in apartments over 150 square meters. People are blocked on the upper floors. According to Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko, at least six people were killed in the attack at this location.

Rescuers continue to clear the rubble. As of now, 64 people have been rescued in Kyiv.
