According to the head of government, residential buildings, social institutions, and cultural sites were targeted by the occupiers. Currently, damage has been reported to 63 residential buildings, 8 administrative buildings, two educational institutions, and one hospital.
"Unfortunately, many cultural sites and museums were also damaged. Dozens of premises housing Ukrainian businesses were also destroyed," Svyrydenko wrote.
The most severe consequences of the attack were recorded in Kyiv.
