A Russian H-101 "Sterna" rocket struck a private residential sector in the Osokorky district of Kyiv [1].
The strike highlights the continued vulnerability of civilian infrastructure and residential zones in the Ukrainian capital to long-range missile attacks.
State Emergency Service (DSNS) officials said the impact destroyed a street and created a large crater [1]. The blast caused one house to burn completely [2] and resulted in the collapse of a wall in another nearby home [1].
Two people were injured in the attack: a woman and her six-year-old grandson [3]. Emergency responders said there were no fatalities [4].
TSN correspondent Nataliya Tkachuk reported on the scene from the Osokorky district, where the rocket impact left significant debris and structural damage across the neighborhood [1]. The H-101 "Sterna" is a cruise missile utilized by Russian forces to target locations deep within Ukrainian territory [1].
Local officials and rescue teams worked to secure the area and provide medical assistance to the injured grandmother and child [1]. The destruction of the residential street has disrupted local access and damaged private property in the sector [1].
“A Russian H-101 "Sterna" rocket struck a private residential sector in the Osokorky district of Kyiv.”
The use of the H-101 "Sterna" missile against a residential district underscores the persistent risk to non-combatants in Kyiv. By striking private sectors rather than military targets, these attacks create significant humanitarian burdens and infrastructure damage in densely populated urban areas.
