Missile and drone attacks leave one dead and injured in Ukraine

One person died and seven others were injured, authorities said. In addition to the missiles, at least 100 drones were launched against the Ukrainian capital.

Before the explosions, the capital's military administration published an air attack warning on Telegram due to the threat of a ballistic missile and advised residents to seek shelter, according to the AFP agency. The alerts were triggered twice after 2am local time (8pm on Saturday in Brasília), each lasting around half an hour.

Klitschko said falling debris sparked a fire in a non-residential area in a suburb north of the city. Several cars caught fire, and another fire started in an area south of the center.

The mayor reported that a non-residential building in the Obolonski district was hit by fire, without indicating whether there were any victims at the scene.

Reuters also reports that unofficial channels on Telegram published photos described as market stalls on fire in the affected suburb.

This Sunday, the Russian capital itself was the target of a drone attack. Moscow Mayor Serguei Sobianin reported on the state-run MAX platform that Russian forces shot down 28 drones targeting the city, according to AFP.

The AFP states that Russia has increasingly resorted to long-range missiles in the war against Ukraine, which is responding by launching drones against Russian territory.
