Three people have been killed in a Russian airstrike on Kyiv overnight. Ukrainian officials said a metro station and a water pipe were also damaged.
They added that Russian forces initially launched drones and then a ballistic missile strike. The Ukrainian military reported that it had destroyed 24 of 39 drones and two of four missiles launched by Russia across various parts of Ukraine during the overnight attack.
Russia also struck the southeastern city of Zaporizhzhia, where the regional governor said ten people were wounded, and the offices of an industrial facility were damaged. However, there was no immediate comment from Russia.
The Kyiv City Military Administration said three people were killed and three more injured in the attack. A fourth victim had been assumed dead but the administration said later the case has yet to be confirmed. The known victims are two men aged 43 and 25, and a 41-year-old woman, officials said.
The office of Ukraine’s general prosecutor said in a statement that the casualties included a security guard at a food establishment and people who were in a minibus on the street.
