Twelve people, including four children, were confirmed casualties following a drone attack on a residential building in Kyiv's Desnyan district early on October 26th, 2025, between 2:15 AM and 3:15 AM UTC. The attack, which saw debris from a downed unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) fall on several floors of the nine-story structure, occurred between 11:16 PM and 12:15 AM UTC on October 26th, 2025, according to "24 Канал | Новини України" and "Реальний Київ | Украина". "Monitor" sources confirmed that residential buildings in Kyiv were hit during the attack, and the "єТривога" alert system noted media reports of explosions in the Kyiv region, urging caution. These events transpired within a 58-minute window. Earlier in the evening on October 25th, 2025, 13 UAVs were detected heading towards the Kyiv region on a northern course, past Zvenigorodka and Smila. This aerial activity coincided with President Donald Trump's announcement of increased sanctions against Russia and his conditions for rescheduling a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, who has not approached discussions in an honest manner, according to a statement shared by Fox News on X. Separately, reports from X on October 26th, 2025, indicated that Voronezh Maslovka railway station is again packed with Russian military equipment, including comms vehicles, 2S19 Msta-S SPGs on wagons, BMPs, and MT-LB armored vehicles on wagons, similar to observations in April. This information was shared by @Archer83Able. President Trump had announced a substantial increase in Russia sanctions on October 25th, 2025, stating he would not reschedule a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin unless a deal was guaranteed, according to an X post from unusual_whales. The President indicated that President Putin has not approached discussions "in an honest and forthright manner, as we'd hoped."
