Russian rockets hit Ukraine’s capital, Kyiv, killing at least one person and leaving hundreds of buildings without heat.
At least one person was killed and nine others injured in a Russian missile attack on the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv, officials said.
The attack cut off heating for 630 buildings, 16 medical facilities, and 30 schools and kindergartens, and falling missile debris caused damage and fires in three districts.
Ukraine’s air force said it had intercepted five short-range Iskander ballistic missiles that were fired at the city.
“We ask citizens to immediately respond to reports of ballistic attack threats, because there is very little time to find shelter,” the air force said.
The Russian Defense Ministry said the strike was in response to a Ukrainian missile attack on Russia’s Rostov border region two days earlier.
That attack used six American-made Army Tactical Missile System missiles, known as ATACMS, and four Storm Shadow air-launched missiles provided by the United Kingdom, it said.
