"Shahed attack: A child was injured and a fire broke out in the Kyiv region due to falling debris."

In the Kyiv region, a child was injured due to falling debris from shot-down Russian drones in one of the localities. Additionally, a fire occurred, which has already been contained.

This was reported by RBK-Ukraine, citing the acting head of the Kyiv regional military administration, Nikolai Kalashnikov.

The official clarified that the injured boy was born in 2012 and is suspected of having a concussion and a laceration on his thigh.

"He has been hospitalized. The child is receiving all necessary medical assistance," the head of the regional administration stated.

A fire also broke out in a café-store and an adjacent boiler room, covering an area of nearly 200 square meters.

"The fire has already been localized. The blast wave damaged the glazing of a neighboring house," the official mentioned in a statement on his Telegram channel.

He also urged residents of the Kyiv region not to ignore air raid signals and to stay in shelters until the all-clear is given.

Shahed Attack

As reported earlier, Russian occupiers launched several groups of strike drones against Ukraine on the evening of January 16 for yet another aerial assault.

At 22:45, due to the detection of enemy UAVs in the Kyiv region, air defense systems were activated. The region announced the cancellation of the air raid alert around half-past midnight on January 17.

Furthermore, earlier that day, debris from the shot-down enemy drones fell in five districts of Kyiv. Local authorities informed that there were no casualties or fires, but a vehicle and the facade of a building were damaged.
