Ukraine has said that Russian missile strikes on Kyiv wounded six people on Saturday.
Russia has launched near-daily missile and drone attacks on the Ukrainian capital since the start of its full-scale invasion in February 2022.
In recent weeks, Moscow has intensified its assault on Kyiv, with repeated barrages of ultra-fast ballistic missiles posing a growing challenge to Ukraine’s air defence systems.
“The number of injured in the capital has risen to six,” Tymur Tkachenko, head of Kyiv’s military administration, wrote on Telegram.
He had earlier confirmed that Russia was “attacking the capital with missiles” and urged residents to seek shelter.
According to Tkachenko, three of the injured were taken to hospital, while the remaining three received treatment at the scene. He did not provide further details about their conditions.
AFP journalists in Kyiv reported hearing two rounds of explosions in the early hours of Saturday. Air raid sirens sounded only minutes after the first blast.
The delayed alert was similar to one earlier this week, when a Russian missile exploded over Kyiv before the city’s warning sirens were activated, jolting residents from their sleep.
Saturday’s attack came a day after Ukrainian drone strikes targeted oil refineries in southern Russia as Kyiv continued its campaign against Moscow’s energy infrastructure.
