**Deck**: Overnight Russian drone attacks killed a 14‑year‑old boy in Kyiv and struck housing, a postal operator’s logistics facilities and small businesses across Kyiv and Odesa regions, even as Ukraine reported downing most incoming drones.

Overnight Russian drone strikes again pushed civilians into the centre of the war in Ukraine’s capital and along the Black Sea, killing a teenager in Kyiv and damaging homes, businesses and logistics facilities in Kyiv and Odesa regions.

In Kyiv, the city military administration reported that a 14‑year‑old boy was killed by a Russian strike. Mayor Vitali Klitschko said a drone hit a multi-storey residential building in the Pechersk district at the level of the 7th to 10th floors. Russian Geran-4 jet drones also struck industrial buildings in the Solomyanskyi and Podilskyi districts, according to footage from the city.

South in Odesa region, Ukrainian officials said Russian forces carried out a series of heavy strikes on residential areas and on logistics premises belonging to a postal operator. They reported that one person was killed and another injured in these attacks on the housing sector and warehouse-type facilities.

The overnight barrage stretched well beyond the capital and Odesa. Explosions were reported in or near Reni and Velykyi Dal’nyk in Odesa region, Odesa city itself, Voznesensk and Mykolaiv in Mykolaiv region, Heikivka and Kryvyi Rih in Dnipropetrovsk region, as well as Dnipro and Zaporizhzhia. In Zaporizhzhia city, local reports said at least five Russian Geran-2/4 strikes hit mainly the northern suburbs, triggering fires.

Ukraine’s air defences said they shot down or suppressed 267 of 295 Russian drones. Even so, Ukrainian reports noted that Russian weapons struck 16 locations, with debris from downed drones falling on another four.

Around Kyiv region beyond the city itself, local authorities said Russian drones hit three separate districts. In the Boryspil area east of the capital, a woodworking enterprise was struck and caught fire. Near Brovary, a warehouse building was damaged. In the Obukhiv district to the south, officials reported damage to three private homes and four cars, either from direct strikes or falling debris.

The daily rhythm of life continues under this pressure. Ukrainian authorities have instituted a national minute of silence each morning at 09:00 to honour those killed in the war. On a day when a 14‑year‑old in Kyiv and residents in Odesa region were added to that toll, the pause underscored how often air raids are reaching civilian streets.

In the short term, key developments will include updated casualty and damage reports from Kyiv and Odesa region, any changes in Ukraine’s air-defence deployments, and signs of whether Russia continues to focus on logistics hubs, small industrial sites and residential districts in its next waves of drone attacks.
