Russia targeted Ukraine’s capital with drones, killing three people in their homes, authorities said early on Sunday.
At least 29 people were wounded, seven of them children, in the second consecutive nighttime attack on Kyiv to claim civilian lives. Ukraine’s Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko said a 19-year-old woman and her 46-year-old mother were among the dead.
Russian drones caused fires in two residential buildings in the capital’s Desniansky district. Emergency crews evacuated civilians from a nine-storey and a 16-storey building, put out flames and cleared the rubble.
Olha Yevhenivha, 74, said there was so much smoke from the fire that she could not leave her flat.
“Even until now our windows are totally black from the smoke, and it was impossible to go down, so that’s why we put wet blankets on our doors and balcony,” she said.
