Russia has increased long-range strikes on Kyiv in recent months, while Ukraine faces a chronic shortage of air defenses against ballistic missiles.
Russian attacks on Kyiv and its suburbs killed 10 people early Saturday, officials said, as Ukrainian drones sank a huge Russian container ship in the Black Sea.
Russia has stepped up long-range strikes on the capital in recent months, while Ukraine is chronically short of air defences capable of downing ballistic missiles, which travel at several times the speed of sound.
“Fires and destruction occurred in 5 districts of the capital,” the State Emergency Service of Ukraine said on Telegram, adding that 23 people were wounded in the ballistic missile attack.
The city’s mayor reported two boys aged 13 and 17 were among the wounded.
“Explosions in the city. Kyiv is under ballistic missile attack. Stay in shelters!” Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko wrote earlier.
