Kyiv:
Kiev came under renewed Russian airstrikes overnight, with authorities reporting falling debris in three districts of the Ukrainian capital and a fire on the roof of a residential building early Saturday.
“Fire on the roof of a nine-story building in one of the residential complexes of the Dniprovskyi district,” Kiev mayor Vitali Klitschko wrote on Telegram, adding that there was no immediate information about possible victims.
The fire was caused by “falling debris,” said the head of Kiev’s civil and military administration, Serhiy Popko. “Stay in the bomb shelters until everything is safe!”
Other debris fell on several streets in Darnytskyi and Solomyanskyi districts, Popko said, adding that information about the damage and possible casualties was being verified.
At 12:45 am Saturday (2145 GMT Friday), the Ukrainian military said drones were heading towards the Kiev region.
Explosions were reported there by authorities and also in the town of Chernihiv, northeast of Kiev.
The exile council of Russian-occupied Mariupol also reported explosions in the city on the Sea of Azov.
According to the Ukrainian army, air defense systems were active in the Kiev and Chernihiv regions.
