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 on the West not to aid Ukraine.<\/p>\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
Earlier this week, Putin rejected Western proposals for a “reassurance force” in Ukraine<\/a> the day after any ceasefire comes into place, following a Paris summit aimed at finalising plans for security guarantees.<\/p>\n French President Emmanuel Macron said 26 of Ukraine’s allies had formally committed to deploying troops “by land, sea or air” to help provide security the moment fighting was brought to a halt. He gave no further details.<\/p>\n Putin sought to quash the allies’ initiative, warning that any troops deployed to Ukraine would be “legitimate targets”.<\/p>\n Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, and Moscow currently controls about 20% of Ukrainian territory – including the southern Crimea peninsula illegally annexed in 2014.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 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.
