Russia and Ukraine launched additional overnight air attacks on each other's capitals on Wednesday, resulting in two fatalities in Kyiv. The drone strikes in Kyiv caused fires across three districts, including the Shevchenkivskyi district, where two people were killed, according to Ukraine's emergency services.
Seven people, including four children, were injured in the strikes on Kyiv, which occurred shortly after Russia fired missiles at the Ukrainian capital. Five of the casualties were in Kyiv's Dniprovskyi district, a densely populated area along the Dnipro River, said Timur Tkachenko, head of Kyiv's military administration.
