Russian forces have launched a major drone and missile attack on the Ukrainian capital Kyiv overnight, killing 13 people, oyogist.com learnt.
Several neighbourhoods were evacuated as strikes rocked buildings throughout the city, hours after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warned Russia was preparing for a “massive” attack.
Children were among the “significant number” of casualties, Tymur Tkachenko, the head of Kyiv’s military administration, said.
“The enemy is once again deliberately targeting residential areas and killing civilians,” he said early on Thursday.
Multiple fires broke out across the city and damage was reported at an ambulance station in the city, which left at least one person critically injured.
