July 10 (UPI) -- A second consecutive night of Russian drone and missile strikes on Kyiv killed at least two people and injured 24, authorities said.
Residential, healthcare, education, commercial and transport infrastructure was damaged across eight districts of the capital, including Podilskyi, where a 22-year-old woman police officer and a 68-year-old woman were killed, Kyiv Military Administration head Tymur Tkachenko said in a social media update.
"House-to-house inspections of the affected building are underway with the police checking whether anyone was left without help. About 400 rescuers and 90 units of fire and rescue, engineering and robotic equipment of the State Emergency Service are involved in clearing the rubble and dealing with the consequences of the shelling," he said.
Tkachenko said apartment blocks, vehicles, warehouses, offices and other non-residential buildings were burning.
