Russian missile and drone strikes killed at least 17 people and wounded dozens more in Kyiv and the surrounding region overnight, authorities said on Wednesday, the latest in a wave of deadly attacks on Ukraine.
Journalists with the AFP news agency heard explosions in Kyiv after midnight, following Ukrainian air force warnings of incoming ballistic missiles.
One journalist reported seeing dark smoke and the acrid smell of burning lingering in the air hours later.
Kyiv's military administration said the missile and drone barrage slammed into residential buildings and several warehouses.
"The enemy is once again deliberately striking civilians and civilian infrastructure," it said on Telegram.
