At least 10 people, including a child, were injured after Russia launched an overnight missile and drone attack on Kyiv early Saturday, Ukraine’s State Emergency Service said.

Explosions and fires were reported across the capital’s Solomianskyi, Darnytskyi and Dniprovskyi districts, the emergency service said in a statement on Telegram. A strike ignited a fire in a three-story office and warehouse building in Solomianskyi district, and another warehouse caught fire in Dniprovskyi district after it was hit.

Russia launched 10 missiles, including six ballistic missiles, and 121 drones against Ukraine overnight, Ukraine’s Air Force said. Ukrainian air defenses shot down or electronically suppressed two missiles and 111 drones.

The Air Force said direct hits were recorded at 11 locations from ballistic missiles, two guided air-to-surface missiles and seven attack drones, with falling debris from intercepted weapons reported at three additional locations.

Russia’s Defense Ministry said its forces had targeted drone production facilities in Kyiv, along with the ports of Izmail and Chornomorsk in Ukraine’s Odesa region.

This is a developing story.
