Tymur Tkachenko, the head of the capital's military administration, said 56 people, including two children, were injured and three dozen locations across the city had been damaged in the attacks.

Ballistic and cruise missiles and drones were used in what Kyiv's mayor, Vitali Klitschko, said was the largest attack on the city since the war began.

Ballistic and cruise missiles and drones were used in the massive overnight strikes, which damaged residential buildings and civilian infrastructure, Ukrainian officials said.
