Russian attacks on Ukraine’s capital killed at least nine people and wounded more than two dozen others, local officials said on Saturday, with strikes damaging homes and causing fires across the city.
Russia and Ukraine have ramped up attacks on each other in recent months.
As Moscow has increased its long-range strikes on Ukrainian towns and cities, Kiev has pressed its allies for air defence support.
The United Nations found June was the deadliest month for civilians in Ukraine since April 2022.
