Russian forces launched a massive drone and missile attack on Kyiv early on Friday, striking residential buildings and triggering explosions and fires in districts throughout the capital, officials said.
Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said 11 people were injured.
Four were being treated in hospital, including a pregnant woman and one person in a very serious condition.
Officials said falling debris and fires damaged high-rise apartment buildings, a school, a medical facility and administrative buildings in areas scattered throughout the city of some 3 million.
"The Russians are hitting residential buildings. There are a great many damaged multi-storey apartment buildings, in practically every district," Tymur Tkachenko, head of Kyiv's military administration, wrote on the Telegram messaging app.
He said both drones and missiles had been deployed and emergency crews were dispatched to several neighbourhoods.
Klitschko said Kyiv's heating system had also sustained damage, with service interrupted in one district. He warned of possible disruptions to power and water supplies.
