Drones hit Kyiv as heating crisis leaves thousands in the cold

Russia launched a wave of drones at Kyiv overnight, causing several explosions and a fire at a non-residential building in the Solomianskyi district. Local authorities warned of further drone attacks as Ukraine’s capital battles ongoing heating outages, with more than 1,000 buildings still without heat amid freezing temperatures. Officials said power restoration is underway and expected to improve by Jan. 15, but the situation is likely to remain difficult in the coming days.
