Ukraine war briefing: Kyiv under Russian drone attack with apartment building hit

An overnight attack on Ukraine’s capital killed at least 14 people, the head of Kyiv’s military administration said early on Tuesday, with Russian strikes reported across the country.

“According to initial reports, there are already 14 deaths in Kyiv,” Tymur Tkachenko said, adding that rescuers were still searching the rubble for victims.

Waves of Russian drones and missiles struck districts across Kyiv, damaging an apartment building and sparking fires, city officials said. Reuters witnesses said drones swarmed over the capital and they heard what seemed to be missiles overhead. An air raid alert remained in effect for more than seven hours.
