Three people have died and at least 26 others injured in a wave of Russian drone and missile strikes on Kyiv, Ukrainian officials say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mayor Vitaliy Klitschko described strikes, which caused explosions and fires in residential buildings across the city, as “massive”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kyiv’s energy infrastructure was also damaged, leaving some buildings in the north-east without heat, he said. Ukraine’s air force reported several other regions across the country were also being targeted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Russia’s defence ministry said it had downed or intercepted 216 Ukrainian drones that had targeted its industrial facilities and disrupted air travel, according to Reuters news agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Kyiv, residential buildings came under attack “in practically every district”, the head of the city’s military administration Tymur Tkachenko said on Telegram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He issued a warning to take shelter a minute after midnight local time on Friday (22:01 GMT), writing “it’s loud in Kyiv”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Falling debris and fires have damaged multiple high-rise apartment buildings, a hospital, school and administrative buildings, according to emergency services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
More than 40 people have been rescued, they added, including 14 from a fire in a residential building in Desnayanskyi district where one person died.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another person was rescued in the building after being pulled from beneath rubble, they said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Medical teams were deployed to all fires, officials said, while Klitschko said nine people were being treated in hospital with one man in an “extremely serious condition”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Parts of the Ukrainian capital’s heating network were also damaged in the attack, the mayor noted, adding that the city’s electricity and water supplies may have been disrupted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ukraine’s air force warned drones and guided bombs had been targeting several other regions, including Sumy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
