“Tonight the Russians tried to kill me. They launched four jet-powered Shahed drones at me. One of them hit the wall of my house. I no longer have a home,” he wrote, adding that he survived with minor injuries.
Kyiv Post could not independently verify whether the strike specifically targeted the official.

Strikes and falling debris were recorded across multiple regions, including Kyiv, Kharkiv, Dnipropetrovsk and Mykolaiv regions.
