At least two people have been killed and 13 injured in a new Russian overnight drone attack on Ukraine’s capital Kyiv, local officials have said.<\/p>\n
One of the victims was a one-year-old baby, whose body was pulled from the rubble, Kyiv’s military administration head Tymur Tkachenko said on Sunday. A young woman is also believed to have been killed.<\/p>\n
Russia also attacked Kryvyi Rih, President Volodymyr Zelensky’s hometown in central Ukraine, where three infrastructure facilities were hit. Air raid warnings were activated overnight for all of the country’s regions.<\/p>\n
The fresh attack came as Russian President Vladimir Putin has been hardening his warning<\/a> on the West not to aid Ukraine.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Kyiv officials said several multi-storey residential buildings in the western Svyatoshynkyi and south-eastern Darnytskyi districts were partially destroyed and continued to be ablaze after direct hits.<\/p>\n “The Russians are deliberately hitting civilian facilities,” Tkachenko said, urging residents to remain in shelters. <\/p>\n There were multiple explosions in Kyiv in the early morning, including at least one in the city centre, seen by the BBC. Several cruise missiles also targeted the capital.<\/p>\n Shortly afterwards, Kyiv Mayor Vitaliy Klitschko said a government building was on fire in the central Pecherskyi district. He said a downed Russian drone likely caused the blaze.<\/p>\n “Firefighters are working on the scene,” the mayor added.<\/p>\n Russia has not commented on the reported drone strikes across Ukraine.<\/p>\n In a statement, the Russian defence ministry said its air defence forces shot down or intercepted 69 Ukrainian drones in a number of Russian regions.<\/p>\n
