At least one person has died after a Russian missile attack on Kyiv sparked several fires throughout the city, Ukrainian officials said. Kyiv's mayor Vitali Klitschko said a nine-year-old child is among three people who were injured as a result of the airstrikes. He added that emergency services were called to at least four districts of the Ukrainian capital. Kyiv's military administration has said fires broke out at several residential and non-residential buildings due to the strikes.
The person who died was killed in the Obolonsky district of the city, the State Emergency Service (SES) of Ukraine said on Telegram. The SES added that another person was injured in the district and two office buildings were destroyed - with one of them catching fire. There was also a fire on the roof of a multi-storey building in Sviatoshynskyi due to the Russian attack, the SES said.

It was not immediately clear what missiles were used, but the late launch of air raid alerts suggests they were difficult to detect by radar. "Russia carried out a missile strike on Kyiv and the Kyiv region," Andriy Yermak, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy's chief ofstaff, said.
