Russia launched a heavy barrage of ballistic missiles and drones at Kyiv overnight, killing at least nine people and wounding 33 civilians, Ukrainian authorities reported on Saturday.
In the capital's Solomianskyi district, falling debris damaged a five-story residential building, sparking a fire. Ukraine's state emergency service said two people died there and eight were injured, including two children. Rescuers evacuated 35 people from upper floors.
The Darnytskyi district suffered the highest toll, with seven dead and 14 wounded after strikes caused fires in homes, vehicles, and a non-residential structure, according to emergency services. Fires were also extinguished in the Shevchenkivskyi district.
Kyiv mayor Vitali Klitschko described the night as 'horrible,' reporting damage across five districts. He said the municipal medical transport agency Kyivmedspetstrans was hit twice, with four buildings partially destroyed and five ambulances completely burned out.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Russian forces fired 35 missiles, including 27 ballistic ones, and 185 attack drones. He stated that only one missile was downed and stressed the urgent need for more Patriot interceptors. Both his and Klitschko's accounts came from separate public statements.
