Russia continued its drone attacks on Ukraine's capital, Kyiv, for a third consecutive night on August 29-30, prompting repeated air-raid alerts. Fires broke out in several districts after debris from falling drones hit residential and non-residential buildings. In the Obolonskyi district, a drone fell between apartment buildings, igniting a fire that spread across multiple floors. Another drone caused a fire in a green area in the Dniprovskyi district, and debris later set ablaze the roof of a non-residential building in the Holosiivskyi district. As of the morning of August 30, emergency services were still working to extinguish fires, though those from the previous day had been put out. These latest strikes follow an August 29 attack where a 2-year-old girl was killed and eight others were injured by a drone. Earlier, on August 28, Russian strikes on Kyiv Oblast resulted in at least 37 deaths and 42 injuries.
