Multiple Russian missiles were launched toward Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities, killing four people, according to officials. Residents reported hearing loud explosions around the capital city.
Russian missiles struck Kyiv and the northeastern city of Kharkiv on Tuesday, killing at least four people and injuring dozens of others, authorities said.
Debris from missiles intercepted by Ukrainian air defense systems fell across the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, causing fires in some residential buildings.
"Explosions in the capital," Kyiv Mayor Klitschko announced on Telegram. He said one person had been killed in the city and also referred to extensive damage to residential buildings resulting in power outages and water supply issues. Ukrainian Interior Minister Igor Klymenko said two more people were killed in the Kyiv region.
In Kharkiv, one person was killed and over 40 were injured in multiple strikes that damaged buildings and civilian infrastructure, the head of the city's military administration, Oleh Syniehubov, said.
Kharkiv Mayor Ihor Terekhov said the city was under "massive missile attack."
The Ukrainian air force said more Russian Kindzhal missiles were headed toward Kyiv and other areas to the south and west.
Tuesday's missile barrage, which follows an overnight drone strike, comes after Russian President Vladimir Putin vowed retaliation after Ukraine's strike on the Russian city of Belgorod which killed 24 people.
