A Russian cruise missile just struck a 24 story residential building in Kyiv.
3 floors of the building have been destroyed.
Russian forces fired more than 20 missiles at Ukraine’s capital in a predawn assault on Saturday that left at least three people dead.
Kyiv, the capital, found itself under attack for the eighth time this month as anxiety grew in Russia over a confrontation between Moscow’s military leadership and Yevgeny V. Prigozhin, the outspoken founder of the Wagner mercenary group. The leadership accuses Mr. Prigozhin of trying to mount a coup against President Vladimir V. Putin.
In the central city of Dnipro, “several houses were completely destroyed. Huge crater after the explosion”, mayor Borys Filatov said on Telegram.
Air defences also “detected and destroyed more than 20 missiles in the airspace around Kyiv”, said Sergiy Popko, head of the Kyiv military administration.
Falling debris caused a fire in a 24-storey building, leaving at least two injured, he said.
In the country’s second-largest city Kharkiv, a gas pipe was destroyed, causing a fire but no casualties, regional governor Oleg Syniegubov said.
Earlier, the Ukrainian air force also reported missiles heading in the direction of the northern regions of Sumy and Poltava.
