What did Russia's drone attack on Kyiv hit?

Summary

A look back at the strike on Kyiv's residential districts, with an earlier Russian claim about a strike in occupied Kherson Raion.

What happened in Kyiv on 22 December 2023? Russia launched a mass drone attack on the Ukrainian capital, striking several residential districts.

A block of flats was damaged in Solomianskyi District, and at least two people were injured. Heavy damage was also reported in Holosiivskyi District.

The attack was part of Russian strikes against Ukrainian infrastructure during the war.

Earlier claim from the south

Six days before, on 16 December 2023, Russia said that two civilians had been killed and two others injured in a Ukrainian missile strike on Nova Maiachka, a village in Kherson Raion under Russian occupation. That was Russia's account of the incident.
