An overnight Russian drone strike destroyed a Kyiv warehouse storing decades of sets, costumes and props from Kvartal 95, the comedy studio Volodymyr Zelensky co-founded before becoming president. The studio said the material spanned more than 20 years of concerts, shows and films, and vowed that all scheduled concerts will proceed regardless.

A separate warehouse belonging to the Olena Zelenska Foundation, holding humanitarian aid meant for children and families across Ukraine, also burned down in the same strike, though the foundation said no one was hurt there. Ukraine's State Emergency Service said the strike hit Kyiv's Sviatoshynskyi district and injured one person overall.
