More info coming out.
The apartment building was next to the Artem factory. That factory makes rockets. That is from a Ukrainian source.
Also, the building the reporter was in was almost completely abandoned, there were only a few occupied apartments. That from the BBC.
Which makes sense - I can imagine that few people would want to live next door to a rocket manufacturing plant during a war.

Why Russia’s rocket attack on Kyiv is seen as an insult to the U.N.
U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres had recently met in person with Russian President Vladimir Putin, and he was on a high-profile visit to Ukraine’s capital — but those circumstances weren’t enough to prevent Russia from launching a deadly attack on a residential area of Kyiv while Guterres visited the capital city Thursday night.
Ukrainian officials are calling the attack a “postcard from Moscow” and an insult to the United Nations.
The attack’s timing quickly set off suspicions
Five Russian missiles hit Kyiv “immediately” after Guterres and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy finished a meeting, Zelenskyy said. It was an intentional affront to the global diplomat, he added.
“This says a lot about Russia’s true attitude to global institutions,” Zelenskyy said Thursday night. “About the efforts of the Russian leadership to humiliate the U.N. and everything that the organization represents.”
Guterres arrived in Ukraine after meeting with Putin on Tuesday, hoping to de-escalate the war and guarantee humanitarian aid for civilians whose lives have been upended by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. On Thursday, Guterres toured the ruined town of Borodyanka, northwest of Kyiv, which was bombed and occupied. For him, it evoked the evil and absurdity of war.
“I must say what I feel. I imagined my family in one of those houses that is now destroyed and black,” Guterres said. “I see my granddaughters running away in panic, part of the family eventually killed. So, the war is an absurdity in the 21st century. The war is evil.”
Guterres also spoke about the NEED TO RESPECT INTERNATIONAL LAW and about being at “ground zero” — remarks that later took on a chilling aspect after Russia sent a new attack into the capital.
The Russian military says it used “HIGH-PRECISION long-range air-based weapons” to destroy buildings related to the Artem rocket and space enterprise in Kyiv. BUT a visit to the scene found that the most visible damage was to an apartment building nearby. The building stands next to a factory that makes missile PARTS, BUT ALSO VACUUM CLEANERS.
