Police have sealed off the area. They're telling residents to stay back and to call 101 or 102 if they spot anything suspicious.
Nobody has been hurt by the missile itself.
That's everything we know.
Why this mattersSo this missile landed in a city that was already under attack.
Russia hit Ukraine overnight with a large missile and drone attack. It happened hours after Vladimir Putin's 74th birthday.
Ukraine's Air Force says it shot down or jammed 161 targets. That's 44 missiles — five of them ballistic — and 117 drones. The ballistic missiles came from Russia's Bryansk and Voronezh regions. The attack mainly hit Kyiv, Kharkiv, Poltava and Dnipropetrovsk regions.
Volodymyr Zelensky, Ukraine's President, had warned the day before that intelligence pointed to a big strike coming.
And here's the thing. In that same district, falling debris from the attack started a fire at a garage cooperative. Two people were killed in that fire. Two more were pulled out alive. Vitali Klitschko, Kyiv's mayor, reported the deaths on Telegram.
So the fire and the unexploded missile are two separate things. Same district, same night, not the same event.
A missile also hit a residential high-rise in Pryluky in the same barrage, with people killed or wounded there too. Russia's Defence Ministry says it struck Kyiv and other regions, including port facilities and ships in the Odesa region.
And this isn't the first time. Two weeks ago, on 24 September, police in the same district defused a 227kg ballistic missile warhead that failed to detonate. That attack also killed two people and injured at least eight across Kyiv.
Russia's government has said nothing about the defusal operation or the deaths from this attack.
It's still not clear why the missile failed to detonate, whether it matches the one found on 24 September, or whether more unexploded ordnance is sitting somewhere else in the city.
Right now, specialists are still moving the warhead out of a residential area. Police are still keeping people away from the site.
