Kyiv's mayor Vitali Klitschko said at least three people have died and 15 were injured in the ballistic missile attack on the Ukrainian capital. Several people were trapped in a partially collapsed apartment building.

Russia was striking the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv with ballistic missiles in the early hours of Thursday, Mayor Vitali Klitschko said in a Telegram post, asking people to seek shelter.

Russian ballistic missiles struck Kyiv on Sunday, triggering fires and injuring three civilians. The wider attacks and Romania's latest drone interception show the war's regional strain is deepening.
