President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyі reported that on the night of October 22, Russian forces used, among other weapons, three ballistic missiles equipped with cluster warheads against Kyiv.

Such munitions detonate in the air as they approach their target, striking everything within a radius of up to 400 meters.

One of the missiles struck the capital’s Pecherskyi District—in the historic center between the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra and the Holy Vvedenskyi Monastery. Monastery buildings, residential homes, shops, cafes, and other civilian infrastructure were damaged.
