Kyiv firefighters knock down drone-strike blazes in four districts, no one hurt

Kyiv's fire crews finished extinguishing the blazes left by a Russian drone attack on the morning of November 9, the city's Main Directorate of the State Emergency Service reported on Telegram, per Ukrinform. The strikes touched four districts, with damage ranging from burning garages to scorched grass.

In the Solomianskyi district, a strike on a garage cooperative set a passenger car and two garages alight. Firefighters put the blaze down across an area of 50 square meters. In the Shevchenkivskyi district, grass burned in an open area before crews quickly doused it over 5 square meters.

Two other districts escaped the flames. Drone debris landed in an open space in Sviatoshynskyi, and a drone came down on the open grounds of an educational institution in Desnianskyi. Neither site caught fire, and the educational institution reported no casualties.

The State Emergency Service confirmed there were no fatalities or injuries at any of the locations. Ukrinform previously reported that Ukraine's air defense forces neutralized 137 of the 164 drones Russian forces launched against the country starting on the evening of November 7.
