Kyiv mayor Vitaly Klitschko says it has been an “awful night for Kyiv”.
In the capital, there are “many damaged buildings in the Darnytskyi, Dniprovskyi, Shevchenkivskyi, Holosiivskyi, and Desnianskyi districts,” he says, adding that these include both non-residential buildings, high-rise apartments, educational institutions, and transport infrastructure.
“In Darnytsky district,
a five-storey building has been destroyed. Rescuers are looking for people
under the rubble. A shopping centre has been hit in the city centre.
Residential buildings are damaged next to it,” he adds.
Earlier, Klitschko described the overnight attacks as “massive”.
