KYIV: Russian drones and missiles attacked districts of Kyiv early on Saturday, injuring six people, officials said, with explosions sounding and drone debris falling.
\nThe head of Kyiv\u2019s military administration, Tymur Tkachenko, said there had been strikes at six locations, with apartment buildings and other dwellings hit in the city of 3 million.
\n\u201cEnemy drones are over the city, with air defense responding. There are multiple targets on the capital\u2019s outskirts,\u201d Tkachenko said on Telegram.
\nTkachenko said six people had been injured, including a child and one person in hospital in serious condition.<\/p>\n
Mayor Vitali Klitschko said a strike had triggered a fire in the lower floors of a high-rise apartment block west of the city center. Another fire broke out and was quickly brought under control in a central district.
\n\u201cThere are currently seven injured in the capital. Four of them have been hospitalized by medics,\u201d Klitschko said, also on Telegram.
\nEarlier, he posted that a 13-year-old child was among the wounded.
\nResidential buildings in several districts of the city and cars were damaged, the mayor said.
\nEarlier this week, Russian drones and missiles rained down on Kyiv during the night, setting fires in apartment buildings.
\nCity officials said seven people were killed.
\nRussia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, triggering the worst armed conflict in Europe since World War II.
\nThe war has killed hundreds of thousands of people and forced millions to flee their homes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
