Russia's attack on Kyiv kills five, sparks fires, Ukraine says
KYIV: Russian drone and missile attacks in and around Kyiv overnight killed five people, injured scores, sparked fires in residential areas and damaged an entrance to a metro station that serves as a bomb shelter, Ukrainian officials said on Monday. 'The Russians' style is unchanged - to hit where there may be people,' Timur Tkachenko, head of Kyiv's military administration, said on the Telegram messaging app. 'Residential buildings, exits from shelters - this is the Russian style.' Russia has not commented on the strikes. Both sides deny targeting civilians in the war that Russia launched in February 2022, but thousands of civilians have been killed in the conflict - the vast majority of them Ukrainian. At least four people were killed in Kyiv's busy Shevchenkivskyi district where the entire entrance of a residential high-rise building was destroyed, Ukraine's Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko said on Telegram. 'There are still people under the rubble,' Klymenko said. The attack caused damage in six of the city's 10 districts, including in several apartment buildings, and wounded at least 10 people, Klymenko said. Ukraine army chief vows to expand strikes on Russia A 68-year-old woman was killed and at least eight people were injured in the attack on the broader Kyiv region that surrounds the Ukrainian capital, its governor Mykola Kalashnik said on Telegram. Photos posted by Ukraine's State Emergency Service showed rescuers leading people to safety from several buildings and structures on fire in the dark. The Service said a pregnant woman was among those rescued. An exit to the metro station in Kyiv's Sviatoshynskyi district was also damaged, as well as an adjacent bus stop, Kyiv's officials said. Kyiv's deep metro stations have been used throughout the war as some of the city's safest bomb shelters. Russia's deadliest attack on Kyiv last week with hundreds of drones killed 28 people and injured more than 150, with Ukrainian officials saying that nearly 30 sites were hit during the multi-wave attack.

Massive Russian drone, missile attack kills 5 in Kyiv, sparks fire, Ukraine says
Russian drone and missile attacks in and around the capital city of Ukraine, Kyiv, have killed at least five people and injured close to a dozen as the Russian air attack sparked fire in residential areas and a metro station entrance was damaged which serves as a bomb shelter, Ukrainian officials said on Monday. According to Timur Tkachenko, head of Kyiv's military administration, 'The Russians' style is unchanged – to hit where there may be people. Residential buildings, exits from shelters – this is the Russian style.' Russia has yet to comment on the attacks in Kyiv. Both Russia and Ukraine have denied in the past targeting civilians in the war which began with Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, but thousands of civilians have been killed in the conflict and a vast majority of them are Ukrainians. Kyiv's Shevchenkivskyi district, which usually keeps busy, saw the death of at least four civilians after the entire entrance of a residential high-rise building was destroyed, Ukraine's Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko confirmed the development on Telegram. 'There are still people under the rubble,' the minister added. Six of Kyiv's 10 districts suffered damage in the barrage of aerial attacks launched by the Kremlin forces, including several apartments and about 10 people were injured in the strikes, Minister Klymenko said. In the broader Kyiv region that surrounds the Ukrainian capital, a 68-year-old woman was killed and at least eight people were wounded in the missile and drone attack carried out by Moscow, confirmed the region's Governor Mykola Kalashnik on Telegram, Reuters reported. Ukraine's State Emergency Service posted photos which showed rescuers leading people to safety from buildings and structures on fire. The Service added that a pregnant woman was also rescued. Ukraine's officials said that exit to the metro station in Kyiv's Sviatoshynskyi district was also damaged in heavy firing by Russian missiles.
