Ukrainian authorities reported that Russian airstrikes resulted in at least nine injuries and caused damage to residential buildings, as well as power outages in parts of the Ukrainian capital early Friday.
Rescue teams managed to pull more than twenty people from a 17-story residential building while flames trapped the sixth and seventh floors.
Authorities said five people were hospitalized, while others received first aid on site. Last night’s attack was the latest in a series of assaults on Kyiv.
Russian forces have intensified their drone and missile attacks on Ukrainian cities over recent months, often targeting energy infrastructure and civilian areas.
Kyiv’s mayor, Vitali Klitschko, said Friday’s attack caused power outages on both sides of the city, which is divided by the Dnipro River, and disrupted water supplies.
