On the night of Saturday, November 29, Russian forces again launched massive strikes on Ukrainian territory. Kyiv and the Kyiv region were hit by drone attacks and aerial bombs, and explosions were also observed in Dnipro and Kharkiv, according to local authorities.
According to the Kyiv City Military Administration (KCMA), drones struck at least four districts of the capital, striking multi-story residential buildings. In the Shevchenkivskyi district, a 14-story residential building was damaged; in the Solomyanskyi district, a 25-story building and adjacent cars were damaged, as well as a residential building in a private sector. In the Svyatoshinskyi district of Kyiv, a drone struck a three-story building. In the Dniprovskyi district, a seven-story building was partially destroyed.
Drones launched by Russian forces also crashed in open areas of Kyiv, damaging vehicles. Fires broke out in several neighborhoods, and emergency services arrived at the scene. Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko reported at least seven injuries, including a 13-year-old boy.
The Brovary district of the Kyiv region also came under attack from the Russian army. Drones there struck several multi-story and private homes. Two people were injured, according to regional administration head Mykola Kalashnik.
Authorities in Dnipro and Kharkiv reported explosions and strikes on energy infrastructure. An air raid alert was issued in Kyiv at around 10:00 PM local time. Prior to this, the Ukrainian Air Force reported strikes on Kharkiv, where, according to the military, guided bombs were used. Vyacheslav Zadorenko, head of the Dergachi City Military Administration, stated that Russian strikes had hit energy infrastructure in the Kharkiv region, noting that local households could experience power surges.
At around 11:00 PM local time, the head of the Dnipropetrovsk Regional State Administration, Vladislav Gaivanenko, also reported explosions in Dnipro, without providing details about damage or casualties. There was no similar information on the city's social media accounts.
Russia's attacks continue despite international calls for a ceasefire. In mid-November, media outlets reported on US President Donald Trump's plan to end Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine. According to the publications, the plan included a number of steps largely in line with Moscow's maximalist demands on Kyiv, but Trump and his administration insisted on a swift agreement.
Ukraine and the United States held consultations in Geneva, during which the plan was revised. Trump's special envoy, Steve Witkoff, is expected to present the document to Russia in early December. It will not address Moscow's territorial demands. Russian President Vladimir Putin, however, stated that Russia will continue to strike Ukraine until the Ukrainian Armed Forces withdraw from their positions in Donbas, which Moscow demands be recognized as Russian territory.
