It follows a relentless wave of strikes by Russia on Ukraine's capital Kyiv.

Sobyanin said in a Telegram post that the attack caused “insignificant damage” to several buildings and that “no one has been seriously hurt”, without clarifying what it means.It came after Russia launched a pre-dawn attack on Ukraine’s capital today as its air defences worked to stop drones in what has been a relentless wave of daylight and night-time bombardments targeting Kyiv.

According to preliminary data, more than 20 Shahed drones were destroyed by air defence forces in Kyiv’s airspace, the Kyiv Military Administration says.One person died and three were injured when a high-rise building in the Holosiiv district caught fire. Elsewhere in the capital, falling debris caused a fire in a private house in the Darnytskyi district and three cars were set alight in the Pechersky district, according to the military administration.

Russian forces fired 11 ballistic and cruise missiles at Kyiv at about 11.30am, according to Ukraine’s chief of staff, Valerii Zaluzhnyi. All of them were shot down, he said.
