Kyiv: Two people were killed and at least 10 injured after Russia struck the Ukrainian capital Kyiv with drones and missiles overnight Tuesday, local authorities said.
The attack comes after a pause over the weekend as US envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff arrived in Kyiv for their first official visit in a renewed push to end the war between Russia and Ukraine.
Damage and fires occurred in at least five districts of the capital, Ukraine’s State Emergency Service said, while a statement on Telegram by the Kyiv City Military Administration said damage to civilian infrastructure was located in at least 16 locations.
A 26-story, non-residential building was hit in the Holosiivskyi district. At another location in the same district, a fire broke out and the flames spread to a nearby non-residential building. Rescuers saved one person during a search and two people were evacuated from an apartment in a 16-story residential building.
People were also trapped in a five-story, residential building in the Solomianskyi district. At least 10 people were rescued, according to the emergency service, which said fires were also recorded in the Darnytskyi and Podilskyi districts.
