At least 33 people were wounded, according to Ukraine’s Emergency Service, while the air-raid alert remained in force into the early hours.

The strikes hit 12 locations in the Darnytskyi, Sviatoshynskyi and Solomianskyi districts, damaging residential buildings, a medical facility and an educational institution. Fires broke out at warehouses, vehicles and other non-residential sites, adding to the pressure on emergency crews working across the city.

The top two floors of a nine-storey apartment block in Solomianskyi district were destroyed, with fires raging on several floors. Rescuers pulled nine injured people from the rubble, but two residents were killed. Nearby homes, a children’s hospital and vehicles were also damaged.
