Emergency services there say fires were caused in five regions of the city, with damage to residential buildings, office and industrial sites. Several people were rescued from burning buildings in the Sviatoshynskyi and Shevchenkivskyi districts. One person was later found dead.
Fires were also reported in Solomyanskyi, Desnianskyi and Dnipro.
