The night attack on the Ukrainian capital has left a deep mark on the city. Kyiv residents continue to seek medical assistance, and the number of injured has already exceeded 90. According to the latest data, the number of casualties has reached 91.

This is reported by RBC-Ukraine, citing the Telegram channel of the head of the Kyiv City Military Administration, Tymur Tkachenko. Following the massive Russian strike on Kyiv, which occurred on the night of May 24, new casualties continue to be recorded in the city.

"Following yesterday's attack, Kyiv residents continue to seek help from medical professionals. The number of injured has risen to 91," noted Tymur Tkachenko.

The Air Force of Ukraine reported that on the night of May 24, Russia launched a combined strike on Ukraine using various types of missiles and attack drones. Kyiv was the main target of the attack.

In total, radio technical troops detected 690 air assault weapons. These included ballistic missiles, hypersonic ballistic missiles "Kinzhals", "Zircon" missiles, "Iskander-M", S-400, as well as cruise missiles Kh-101, "Kalibr", and "Iskander-K".

Additionally, Russian forces used 600 drones of various types, including Shahed, "Gerber", "Italmas", "Bandrol", and "Parody" mimic drones.

Preliminary data indicates that as of 09:30, the Ukrainian air defense system destroyed or suppressed 604 aerial targets. Air defense forces shot down 55 missiles and 549 drones of various types.

It should be recalled that on the night of May 24, during a massive attack on Ukraine, Russian forces used a medium-range ballistic missile RS-26 "Rubizh", also known as "Livistnitsa", against the Kyiv region.

It is worth noting that during the night attack, Russian forces struck all districts of Kyiv. Significant destruction was recorded in Lukianivka, where large-scale fires broke out after the shelling. As a result of a direct hit, the "Kvadrat" shopping center was completely burned down — the building suffered critical damage, leaving only charred structures and debris.
