Russian forces launched a missile attack on Kyiv early on Sunday, causing fires in at least two districts and injuring one person, Ukrainian officials said. Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko reported that falling debris sparked a fire in a non-residential area of a northern suburb of the Ukrainian capital. Several vehicles caught fire in the same area, while a separate blaze broke out in a district just south of Kyiv’s city centre.
The city’s military administration reported that one person was injured in the attack. Authorities did not immediately provide further details about the person’s condition or the extent of damage across the capital. The latest strike follows several weeks of intensified Russian aerial attacks targeting Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities.
Attack Details
Russian forces have repeatedly used missiles and drones against urban centres and infrastructure during the conflict, forcing residents to seek shelter during overnight air alerts. Ukrainian air-defence units routinely attempt to intercept incoming weapons, though falling fragments can still cause fires, injuries and property damage. Officials were continuing to assess the consequences of Sunday’s attack.
