Russian drones and missiles struck several districts of Kyiv early on Saturday, killing one person and injuring more than a dozen. Fires swept through residential blocks as debris rained over the city.
It was the second major strike on the capital in four days, turning another night into a scene of smoke and alarms
Kyiv’s military administration said six locations were hit across the city of three million. Apartment buildings caught fire. Homes were damaged. Crews moved through rubble to reach survivors. Officials said the body of one resident was pulled from the remains of a burnt building, while a child was rescued from the same site.
Mayor Vitali Klitschko said a strike triggered a fire in the lower floors of a high rise west of the city centre. Another blaze broke out in a central district but was quickly contained. A new air raid alert followed at dawn as fresh waves of drones approached the capital.
Images posted online showed flames pouring from tower blocks. Streets were covered with shattered glass and debris. Firefighters worked through the dark, battling heat and smoke.
The attack came as Ukraine reported a wider overnight strike across the country. Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said two people were killed and two dozen wounded nationwide. He said Moscow fired dozens of cruise and ballistic missiles and more than five hundred drones at homes, electricity sites, and critical services.
Sybiha said Russia continued to kill and destroy at the moment when the world was talking about peace plans. His remarks came as Kyiv and Washington discuss a possible agreement aimed at ending the war. Talks have met resistance from Kyiv and its European partners, who oppose any terms that would force Ukraine to withdraw from territory it controls or limit future alliances.
Saturday’s strikes underlined the tension around those negotiations. While diplomats debated frameworks for peace, explosions echoed across Kyiv. The night carried the sound of a war now in its fourth year, and the capital woke once more to sirens.
