Kyiv City Military Administration (KMVA)
The Kyiv City Military Administration (KMVA) is the temporary governing body of Kyiv, established in February 2022 after Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. It is headed by a head appointed by decree of the President of Ukraine, who concurrently serves as head of the Kyiv Oblast State Administration. The KMVA coordinates the capital's defence, the operation of critical infrastructure and municipal services during wartime, and regularly reports on the consequences of missile strikes and air-raid alerts.

Russia hits Kyiv with massive combined missile and drone attack overnight, killing at least two
On the night of September 7–8, Russian forces struck Kyiv with a combined barrage of ballistic, cruise, and anti-ship missiles alongside Shahed-type drones. At least two people were killed and more than a dozen injured, with damage recorded across multiple districts of the capital, including the Taras Shevchenko metro station. Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said the attack came hours after US presidential envoys left the city, breaking a three-day mutual pause on strikes on the two capitals arranged for their visit.
