For reference:

On the morning of January 1, Kyiv experienced a drone attack that caused debris to fall on a residential building in the Pecherskyi district and two non-residential buildings in the city. Additionally, a fire broke out in the Sviatoshynskyi district due to the attack.

There was partial damage to the fourth to sixth floors of a residential building in the Pecherskyi district, with a fire breaking out on the fourth and fifth floors, covering 70 square meters. The fire was contained, and a woman was successfully rescued.

Regrettably, due to the enemy drone strike on January 1, the death toll has risen. Currently, two fatalities have been confirmed. Additionally, six individuals are injured, including two pregnant women.

On January 2, Kyiv rescuers completed search and rescue operations in the house in the Pecherskyi district that was damaged by the Russian attack on January 1 and are continuing emergency and recovery measures.

In total, on the night of January 1, Russian troops attacked Ukraine with 111 air targets: air defense forces managed to shoot down 63 drones. Another 46 UAVs were lost in location.
