On the evening of October 12, 2026, the capital of Ukraine once again suffered a severe and destructive attack by the Russian Federation. Well-known Ukrainian radio and TV host and showman Andriy Dzhedzhula shared shocking footage with the public, filmed literally seconds after the hostile strike. At that moment, the artist was in the Arkadia area and driving out of the residential neighborhood with his underage daughter, miraculously escaping direct threat to their lives.
Chronology of the nighttime strike on the Darnnytsia district
According to official data from operational services, an enemy drone attacked a multi-story residential building in the Darnnytsia district of Kyiv. As a result of the direct hit, structures of the building from the 12th to 16th floors suffered severe damage, and powerful fires broke out on the lower levels. The attack claimed the lives of two people: rescuers discovered the body of a 59-year-old woman, as well as another victim inside a car parked near the burning high-rise. In addition, civilians were injured, including a 17-year-old girl who sustained wounds.
Reaction of Ukrainian celebrities and footage from the scene of the tragedy
Andriy Dzhedzhula published emotional video materials on his Instagram, captioning them with the phrase that the footage was taken two seconds after the impact. Besides Dzhedzhula, other famous Ukrainian media personalities became victims or witnesses of this terrorist attack. Thus, a Russian drone damaged the residential complex where actress Ksenia Mishina lives, who confessed that she was very frightened by the explosion. TV presenter Elena Filonova also found herself near the epicenter of the explosion and recorded the fire, worrying about the employees of a nearby beauty salon and the residents of the destroyed house.
