Russian strikes on Kyiv and its surrounding region killed three people, including a child, and wounded seven others in the early hours of Wednesday, Ukrainian officials said.
The casualties were reported in and around the Ukrainian capital following the latest wave of Russian aerial attacks, according to local authorities cited by France 24.
Separately, Poland's air navigation services agency, PANSA, said flights were briefly suspended at the airports of Lublin and Rzeszow, in the country's east, because of military activity linked to the Russian strikes across the border in Ukraine.
The airports resumed operations after the suspension, though PANSA did not specify how long normal service was interrupted or how many flights were affected.
Lublin and Rzeszow lie close to Poland's border with Ukraine and have periodically seen flight disruptions since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion in 2022, as NATO members in the region monitor airspace during major Russian bombardments of Ukrainian territory.
Russian forces have continued to carry out strikes on Ukrainian cities, including Kyiv, using a mix of missiles and drones. Ukrainian officials have said such attacks routinely target both military and civilian infrastructure, though the scale and precise targets of Wednesday's strikes were not immediately detailed.
France 24 said it would continue to update its live coverage of the strikes and their aftermath as more information becomes available.
