## Summary

A Russian overnight drone attack on Kyiv damaged a medical facility, injuring three people and prompting the evacuation of 30 others. The incident matters because the Institute of Traumatology and Orthopedics had to suspend operations, amid intensified attacks on Ukrainian cities and infrastructure.

Drone debris sparked a fire at the institute in Shevchenkivskyi District, partially destroying its second floor; first responders rescued seven people. Patients were moved to undamaged wards or discharged, and staff treated those in need before operations paused while damage is assessed. The attack came during wider overnight strikes across Ukraine, following attacks the previous day that killed 10 people and injured 40.
