KYIV: At least five people were killed and around 20 wounded in Russian strikes on Kyiv and the surrounding region, Ukraine authorities said Monday.
"As of now, 4 people have died" in Shevchenkivsky, where part of a residential high-rise building was destroyed, said Igor Klymenko, the minister of internal affairs.
He added that one person had also been killed in Bila Tserkva.
Ukraine has launched retaliatory strikes on Russia throughout the war, targeting energy and military infrastructure sometimes hundreds of kilometers from the front line.
Kyiv says the strikes are a fair response to deadly Russian attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure and civilians.
