Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko reported several active fire sites as a result of falling drone debris:
- Podilskyi District: According to reports on Novyny.LIVE, two fires were identified at a private house and a three-story residential building as a result of debris impact.
- Obolonskyi District: City authorities, including the Kyiv City Military Administration (KMVA), reported that numerous vehicles had caught fire. Simultaneously, Novyny.LIVE updated that a fire had broken out in warehouse structures in a five-story building.

Beyond the direct damage to buildings and property, ZN.UA reported power outages in several areas of the city. Mayor Klitschko noted that professional crews are working to investigate the exact causes of the disruptions to the power grid.
