Kyiv under heavy Russian attack as apartment buildings burn, mayor says

Kyiv was hit by a major overnight Russian missile-and-drone attack on Tuesday, with apartment buildings damaged and burning in multiple districts as rescue crews searched through rubble, according to officials and news reports.

AP reported that at least four people were killed in Kyiv and 58 were injured, including children, as emergency workers continued rescue operations. Kyiv city authorities said apartment buildings burned or were damaged in districts including Podilskyi and Solomianskyi.

Residents were told to take shelter as the attack unfolded early Tuesday. Reuters reported that Kyiv was under heavy Russian attack and that the city was still assessing the damage.

The broader overnight assault also killed at least 11 people across Ukraine, including casualties in Dnipro, AP reported.

Officials said information was still being updated as rescue work continued. The full scale of the damage and toll may rise as crews clear debris and search damaged buildings.
