Kyiv Mayor Vitaly Klitschko described it as a “massive enemy attack”, saying that a pregnant woman and a man in an “extremely serious condition” were among the hospitalised.
A 55-year-old man in Bila Tserkva who suffered thermal burns was rushed to hospital, according to Mykola Kalashnyk, the head of the Kyiv region.
Klitschko said the Russian attack had damaged part of the city’s heating networks, noting that some buildings in the northeastern Desnyansky district were temporarily left without heat.
“Russians are hitting residential buildings. There are a lot of damaged high-rise buildings throughout Kyiv, almost in every district,” said Tymur Tkachenko, the head of the city’s military administration.
Meanwhile, the Russian Defence Ministry said its forces had shot down more than 200 Ukrainian drones overnight.
“During the past night, air-defence assets intercepted and destroyed 216 Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles,” it wrote on Telegram.
