Three people were killed and 31 others injured, including six children, in a Russian overnight air strike on Kyiv that destroyed two high-rise apartment blocks, Ukrainian officials said on Sunday.
Mayor Vitali Klitschko wrote on Telegram that seven of the injured, among them two children, had been taken to hospitals in the capital.
He said debris from downed Russian missiles had struck a nine-storey residential building in Kyiv’s Desnianskyi district, sparking a blaze that quickly spread across several floors.
The fire has since been extinguished, and Ukraine’s state emergency service reported that 13 people were rescued from the upper floors.
The full extent of the attack was not immediately clear. Air raid sirens sounded over Kyiv and the surrounding region for roughly an hour and a half before the all-clear was given at around 00:30 GMT.
Both Russia and Ukraine deny targeting civilians in their respective strikes. However, thousands of people, the vast majority Ukrainians have been killed since Russia launched its full-scale invasion in February 2022.
