July 31 (UPI) -- At least six people were killed and more than 50 were injured in Kyiv overnight during an hours-long Russian airborne assault on the Ukrainian capital that caused an apartment building to collapse.
Three of the fatalities were in the nine-story apartment block in Sviatoshynskyi, a western outer-suburb.
Kyiv Military Administration Head Tymur Tkachenko said a six-year-old boy was among those killed and that 10 other children were injured.
Tkachenko warned that with Russian drones and missiles causing widespread damage to more than 25 sites across the city, including a children's hospital ward, a higher education institution, a school and a kindergarten, he expected the death toll to rise.
