In the early hours of January 24, Russian forces launched a rocket-and-drone strike on Kyiv, with the Roshen confectionery factory among the damaged facilities. According to initial data, one person was killed, and two more were injured. Correspondents documented the aftermath at the scene.
In the morning, the Kyiv State Emergency Service reported that the top floor of the confectionery factory in the Holosiivskyi district sustained significant damage, resulting in a fatality and injuries.
The death of a 48-year-old woman in the Holosiivskyi district was also reported by the Kyiv Prosecutor’s Office.
Member of Parliament from the “European Solidarity” faction Viktoria Siumar on her Facebook page said that the Shahed strike hit the Roshen production shop, where a worker in this production line was killed. The shop itself sustained serious damage.
Impact on the city and region
Correspondents also visited the Dnipro district, where a large fire erupted in a garage cooperative. Four trucks burned, including two fuel tankers. In the yard at the moment of impact, truck drivers halted; one of them was able to be saved from the flames.
In Kyiv, as a result of the nighttime attack, one person died, and four residents were injured: three were hospitalized, one received on-site assistance.
The energy sector suffered serious consequences: nearly 6,000 multi-story buildings were left without heating, about 88,000 homes without electricity. Because of electricity shortages, the metro operates with restrictions. Also in the Kyiv region, four people were injured in the Brovary and Boryspil districts; private houses and cars were damaged.
