Explosions Rock Kyiv in Overnight Attack LIVE | Russia Ukraine War LIVE Today | Putin | Zelensky

Russia attacked Ukraine's capital Kyiv early on Saturday (May 24) with drones and missiles, triggering fires, strewing debris in districts throughout the city and injuring at least eight people, the city's mayor said.

Mayor Vitali Klitschko said two residents had required hospital treatment and that air defence units were in action, and that fragments from one drone struck the top floor of an apartment building. One apartment building was on fire in the area as was one non-residential building.

Timur Tkachenko, head of Kyiv's military administration, said a fire had also broken out on two floors of an apartment building in Dniprovskyi district.

Officials also reported a fire in Obolon in the city's northern suburbs and fallen debris on a shopping centre in the same area. They said drone fragments hit the ground in a number of other widely separated neighbourhoods.

An air alert remained in effect more than seven hours after it was first declared.

The overnight strikes followed several days of Ukrainian drone attacks - some 800 attacks - on targets inside Russia, including capital Moscow. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov had vowed on Friday (May 23) to respond to those attacks.
