Russian missile and drone strikes damaged several multi-story residential buildings, an educational institution in Dniprovskyi district, and commercial buildings in Desnyanskyi district of Kyiv city during the 29-minute reporting window from 11:15:44 PM to 11:45:30 PM UTC on February 2, 2026, according to Kyiv official Andriy Smoliy quoted by CGTNEurope. Kyiv residents were urged to stay in shelters as the night continues. Andriy Smoliy reported the damage in an X post, stating 'The Russians decided to launch another massive attack on Kyiv in the freezing February weather,' with preliminary reports from both districts. This follows a Tornado-S rocket strike on the Kharkivska 330 kV substation in Kharkiv earlier in the evening, as reported in the previous window by AMK Mapping. A Tu-22 bomber takeoff was observed, indicating possible Kh-22/32 missile launches within an hour, according to Andriy Smoliy. An explosion was reported by ХДніпро during this period. The attack continues the combined missile and drone operation that began after 9:45 PM UTC, with over 30 drones launched from Russian bases including Khalino near Kursk, per @kimhvik2.
