Russia's Ministry of Defence said on Telegram that its armed forces carried out a massed overnight strike on Kyiv and Kyiv Oblast on 7 November, using high-precision ground-based weapons and long-range strike drones 1.
The ministry said the targets were military-industrial, energy and transport facilities. The post, as excerpted, does not list specific sites, and the targets and any damage have not been independently confirmed. The account is a claim by a party to the conflict and comes from a single source 1.
No figures for killed or injured people were available in the material reviewed, and no Ukrainian official account of the strike was available.
The claim follows other reports in the previous day. A report at 23:02 UTC on 6 November said the Ukrainian Air Force had warned of ballistic missile launches toward Kyiv, Poltava, Chernihiv and Sumy regions, and a separate unconfirmed report at 23:27 UTC described Russian ballistic missiles striking Kyiv amid warnings of a mass attack. Both are listed as unconfirmed.
Earlier on 6 November, an unconfirmed report said Russian missiles had hit power plants in Ukraine, including the Kanev hydroelectric plant in Cherkasy Oblast.
Separately, unconfirmed reports from Zaporizhzhia Oblast described a strike on a humanitarian aid center that reportedly killed at least 50 people, and a strike on Komyshuvakha earlier in the week, for which police cited at least 42 dead. These events are not linked in the available material to the Kyiv claim.
