Russian drone strikes on Kyiv killed at least three people and injured more than 10 others, according to Ukrainian officials.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky accused Russia of launching 277 attack drones as part of the assault on the capital.
The strikes also caused damage to the residence of the Saudi ambassador in Kyiv, adding a diplomatic dimension to the attack's impact beyond the immediate civilian casualties.
The scale of the drone barrage cited by Zelensky, 277 drones in a single reported wave, reflects the intensity of the aerial campaign Russia has continued to wage against Ukrainian cities.
Attacks on Kyiv and other Ukrainian population centers have continued intermittently throughout the war, with civilian infrastructure and residential areas frequently affected alongside military and government targets.
Ukrainian authorities are expected to provide further details on the casualties and the extent of the damage, including to the Saudi diplomatic property, as assessments continue.
