War in Ukraine: Russian missiles kill several in Kyiv
Ukraine's capital was targeted by Russian missile strikes on Thursday, with President Volodymyr Zelensky reporting at least two deaths and damage to civilian infrastructure.
The Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, was the target of Russian missile fire on Thursday, according to the Ukrainian authorities, who reported at least two deaths.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky deplored the death of at least two people in the attack, saying that several types of infrastructure had been affected.
Civilian infrastructure targeted
According to the Ukrainian president, the strikes damaged "civilian infrastructure, residential buildings, a maternity hospital, energy facilities and logistical infrastructure". This underlines the extent of the damage caused by this new wave of strikes on the capital.
Russian missile and drone attacks on Ukrainian cities, including Kyiv, have increased in recent months, targeting energy infrastructure in particular as the winter period approaches.
The Ukrainian authorities did not immediately specify the number of wounded or provide a definitive assessment of the material damage caused by this attack.
The strike comes as world leaders gather in New York for the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly, where the war in Ukraine is among the main topics of discussion.
