Russian attacks on Kyiv killed at least nine people and wounded more than two dozen others, according to local officials. The strikes hit Ukraine’s capital on Saturday and caused damage in multiple parts of the city.
Officials said homes were damaged and fires broke out after the attacks. The reported toll highlighted the continuing danger for civilians in Kyiv as emergency crews responded to the aftermath across the capital.
The latest assault comes as Russia and Ukraine have stepped up attacks on each other. That broader escalation has raised concerns about further strikes on major cities and more pressure on already strained local services.
Kyiv has faced repeated attacks during the war, and this latest round again left residential areas affected. With fatalities, injuries and property damage reported, the strikes added to the human and physical cost of the conflict in Ukraine’s capital.
