At least six people have been killed and 35 injured in the latest Russian strikes on Kyiv, according to head of Kyiv city military administration Tymur Tkachenko and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
Rescue teams reported widespread damage on Tuesday, with fires and structural destruction recorded in eight districts of the capital, the State Emergency Service of Ukraine (SES) said on Telegram. The Kyiv City Military Administration (KCMA) confirmed the updated casualty toll, which includes one child.
The SES said a high-rise in the Podilskyi district was hit at the level of the 15th floor, where 13 people were rescued. Fires were also extinguished in several buildings in the Dniprovskyi district, where 17 residents were brought to safety.
Partial destruction was reported on the 19th and 21st floors of another high-rise, and wooden structures at a sports facility covering 200 m² caught fire, according to the SES. Additional blazes were tackled in the Darnytskyi, Desnianskyi, Solomianskyi, Sviatoshynskyi, Holosiivskyi, Shevchenkivskyi and Obolon districts.
In the Desnianskyi district, nine people were rescued and 50 evacuated after a fire broke out on the seventh floor of a high-rise building. At another address, a blaze affecting the fifth to eighth floors killed one person; 14 were rescued, including a child, and another was freed from rubble.
A nine-storey residential block in the Obolon district was struck, igniting fires across three floors and prompting further evacuations, officials said.
KCMA head Tymur Tkachenko earlier reported 16 injured before the toll rose as emergency crews reached additional sites.
