The alleged attacks come after days of attempted Ukrainian drone raids targeting Moscow

Ukrainian officials have claimed that Russia has launched multiple waves of missile and drone strikes on Kiev overnight. The Russian Defense Ministry has yet to comment.

The first strikes were reported shortly after midnight, with Mayor Vitaly Klitschko urging residents to seek shelter as the capital’s air defenses engaged incoming targets.

More explosions were heard between 2am and 3am. The head of the city’s military administration, Timur Tkachenko, confirmed that “a fire broke out on the roof of a non-residential building.”

Ukrainian officials claimed at least one person had been killed and another hospitalized as of 5am, after falling debris from intercepted missiles and drones triggered several fires.

Multiple blurred videos shared on Ukrainian social media appear to show the aftermath of the strikes, although the exact locations and types of facilities hit remain difficult to verify due to strict censorship by Ukrainian authorities.
