(Reuters) -Russian forces launched a “massive” attack on Kyiv early on Friday, Mayor Vitali Klitschko said, with air defences in action and a series of explosions reported in the capital.
Klitschko said falling debris had struck a five-storey apartment building in Dniprovskyi district on the east side of the Dnipro River and a high-rise dwelling was on fire in Podil district on the opposite bank.
He called for emergency crews to be dispatched to several city neighbourhoods.
Ukraine’s air force reported that Russian missiles were targeting Kyiv and several other regions.
