Ukraine’s capital Kyiv came under a deadly Russian attack early Monday morning, on the eve of a critical NATO summit in Turkey that US President Donald Trump plans to attend.
Explosions have been heard across the city center and people remain trapped in damaged multi-story residential buildings, as the combined attack, involving ballistic missiles and drones, continues.
At least three people were killed and seven others wounded, as buildings were impacted and fires broke out in several districts of the city, officials said.
Rescuers evacuated residents, including children, from the upper floors of a damaged building in the Podilskyi district early Monday, but the search for those still trapped is ongoing, Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said on Telegram.
Air raid sirens were activated throughout the city, sending many residents into shelters.
