TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Fires broke out across the Ukrainian capital after Russia's latest missile attack. Several people have been injured in Kyiv and emergency services are at the scene.
Russia launched a major ballistic missile attack on Ukraine's capital city, Kyiv, in an overnight operation, Ukraine's air force said early Sunday.
Witnesses on the ground reported hearing several explosions, including those from air defense systems. An AFP journalist reported that one of the explosions was so powerful that it set off car alarms across the city center.
Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said several fires had been reported across the city in residential and non-residential areas. Fires broke out at a dormitory, a residential block and at a supermarket, he said in a series of posts on Telegram, adding that emergency services had been deployed.
At least seven people were injured in the attack on Kyiv, one of whom was treated at the scene, Klitschko said.
"According to preliminary information, one person was, sadly, killed as a result of the attack," the city military administration said on Telegram. However, Klitschko did not report any deaths in his messages.
Russia's latest strikes come a day after Ukraine sent attack drones to destroy e-commerce warehouses in the Moscow and Tambov regions, killing at least eight people and causing major fires. On the same day, Russian strikes killed at least two people in Ukraine.
Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine is well into its fourth year. Both sides have repeatedly resorted to drone strikes, but Moscow is increasingly using ballistic missiles aimed at Kyiv and other locations across Ukraine. Meanwhile, Kyiv has warned of dwindling stocks of interceptor missiles used to block Russian ballistic missiles.
