Over 20 educational institutions damaged in Russian mass attack on Kyiv

According to Ukrinform, Valentyn Mondryivskyi, Deputy Head of the Kyiv City State Administration, announced this on Facebook.

The damaged facilities include ten kindergartens, ten schools, two extracurricular education centers, and one vocational education institution.

Most of the buildings had windows shattered and doors damaged by the blast wave. Some also sustained damage to their facades, roofs, interior premises, and children's playgrounds.

"The most important thing is that no children or education staff were injured during the attack. Specialists are currently inspecting all damaged buildings. Once the extent of the destruction has been assessed, the city will promptly begin the necessary restoration work to ensure the institutions are ready for the new school year," Mondryivskyi said.

According to the official, since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion, a total of 308 educational institutions in Kyiv have been damaged by Russian attacks. The affected facilities include 122 kindergartens, 154 schools, six extracurricular education centers, 15 vocational education institutions, one higher education institution, and one inclusive resource center.

As reported by Ukrinform, on July 2 Russia launched a massive drone and missile attack on Kyiv, causing damage in every district of the capital.

According to Prime Minister Yuliia Svyrydenko, at least 20 residential buildings sustained direct hits.
