Ukrainian bomb disposal specialists removed a Russian ballistic missile warhead and associated debris from a residential courtyard in Kyiv's Obolonskyi district on Sunday 11 October, the State Emergency Service said. The fragments had fallen during a strike on the capital a day earlier.
The debris landed among apartment buildings and damaged a single-storey structure, according to the emergency service's account reported by NV.ua. Specialist teams inspected the site, recovered the warhead and released photographs of the operation.
At another location in Obolonskyi district, a strike damaged a restaurant building and caused a fire, the Kyiv military administration reported. Mayor Vitali Klitschko said seven people were injured in the wider attack on the district, five of whom were admitted to hospital and three considered seriously injured.
Emergency services also extinguished three separate fires involving wooden structures and grass across about 200 square metres. Those fires, the missile remnants in the courtyard and the restaurant strike were reported as distinct locations.
The State Emergency Service told residents not to approach suspicious debris or try to move it. It urged anyone who finds such objects to contact emergency responders on 101 or 112.
