A wave of Russian missiles and drones hit Ukraine's capital Kyiv overnight, killing at least ten people in an attack that was still underway early on Monday.
A residential building in the Podilskyi district partially collapsed, said Tymur Tkachenko, head of Kyiv's City Military Administration in a post on Telegram. In the Darnytsia district, several multistory buildings were damaged and people were believed to be trapped under the rubble.
“These are residential buildings. Places where people slept and lived their ordinary lives,” he said.
Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko stated that air defences were in operation and urged people to remain in shelters.
"Nine deaths and 46 wounded have now been confirmed as a result of the Russian attack (including five wounded children)," Tkachenko posted on Telegram. "Sadly, this is not the final toll. Rescue operations are still ongoing."
