The night in the Kyiv region was not without consequences. As a result of a Russian attack in the region, an 82-year-old woman sustained shrapnel wounds.

"The victim was taken to a district hospital with head wounds and a hypertensive crisis. Her condition is satisfactory. She is receiving all the necessary medical care. Operational services are currently recording damage to residential buildings as a result of falling debris from downed enemy targets," said Ruslan Kravchenko, head of the Kyiv Regional Military Administration.

The consequences of the attack were recorded in several districts of Kyiv region.

"As of 11:20 am, six private houses, two outbuildings, and a car wash were damaged in several districts of the region...

By 12:00, according to updated information, the consequences of the attack were known in four districts of the region. Shrapnel from the "Shahed" damaged 8 private houses, an apartment in a multi-storey building, and two outbuildings.

"The damage is minor – windows and doors were smashed, facades and roofs were damaged. In addition, power lines were damaged. As of now, 1,860 subscribers in one of the region's settlements are without electricity. Also, a combine harvester burned down in a private household as a result of falling debris from the downed targets," Kravchenko said.

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy reacted to another drone terror in Ukraine.

"Constant terrorist attacks on Ukrainian cities prove that the pressure on Russia and its accomplices is not enough. Today, since four in the morning, an air alert has been in place in Ukrainian cities. Unfortunately, the attack of Russian drones caused damage and casualties in different parts of Kyiv. There were also strikes and damage in Poltava, Sumy, and Kharkiv regions," the Head of State noted.

He reminded that terror can be stopped only by depriving Russia of the opportunity to produce or purchase weapons from Iran and the DPRK, as well as by destroying them in warehouses in Russia and in the workshops where they are produced.

"I am grateful to our defenders of the sky who shoot down the Shaheds every night. This year, almost every night, sometimes in the morning and during the day, there is a threat of Shaheds. These are the attack drones given to Russia by Iran, which have become one of the main tools of Russian terror against Ukraine. We need to put more pressure on Russia's ability to produce such weapons. We need to be able to destroy the storage bases of the "Shahed" and the entire infrastructure for their production and logistics. Terrorists, unfortunately, know how to use the time given to them by the indecision of the free world," the President emphasized.

The air alert in Kyiv was announced at 04:54. A minute later, the KIAA called on Kyiv residents to immediately go to shelters, and two minutes later, Popko said that air defense was operating in the capital.

To recap, Russia launched the first Shaheds, which opened the countdown to the night attack, before 8 p.m. on November 1. They flew in several groups. The launches lasted all night.

It was also reported that a Shahed hit a high-rise building in Sumy. At least five people were injured, including a pregnant woman. Residents of two damaged high-rise buildings were left without electricity and gas.
