A Russian missile attack killed at least two people in Kyiv, according to an initial toll given by Ukrainian military authorities, amid an intensification of Moscow's strikes on the Ukrainian capital.
The day before the attack, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky had warned of the risk of a "massive" Russian attack targeting Kyiv, a warning that materialized with this new strike on the city.
Local authorities are continuing to assess the damage caused by the attack, as the death toll could rise in the coming hours as rescue operations continue.
Kyiv has been targeted repeatedly by Russian strikes since the start of the invasion, with Ukrainian authorities regularly accusing Moscow of targeting civilian and energy infrastructure in the capital and other major cities across the country.
Russian authorities did not immediately comment on this new toll reported by Kyiv.
