A Russian Kh-101 missile struck a five-story residential building in Pryluky, Chernihiv Oblast, on the morning of October 7, 2026, while many residents were still asleep. The death toll rose steadily over following days to at least 22 people, including five children, with over 54 injured; victims included entire families and a police veteran, and a three-year-old girl was pulled alive from the rubble after losing her grandmother and uncle. Zelensky called the strike Putin's 'gift to himself' on his birthday and urged allies to increase sanctions and air defense support. The strike became a focal point of Western condemnation and became part of a broader wave of Russian attacks reported across Ukraine on October 7-8, prompting the UK foreign secretary to visit the site alongside Zelensky.
