Kyiv mayor Vitali Klitschko said a teenage girl was killed in the late-night Russian attack.
At least one person was reportedly killed and five injured after a Russian drone hit a 25-story residential building in Kyiv on Friday night.
Emergency responders were dispatched to the site of the attack to fight a fire which broke out on the upper floor of the building due to the strike.
The fire was extinguished but a search and rescue operation continued, according to Kyiv’s major Vitali Klitschko.
Klitschko said one of the five injured was sent to hospital and that a first aid tent was set up at the site.
Ukraine’s Emergency Service say the attack damaged several apartments in the building with around 100 people being evacuated after the drone struck.
“Apartments from the 17th to the 21st storeys were damaged in the apartment building in Solomyanskyi district,” Serhiy Popko, head of the Ukrainian capital’s military administration wrote on Telegram, “Apartments were on fire on the 20th floor.”
Prior to the attack, local media report an air alert had been sounded in Kyiv and other Ukrainian regions due to a mass Russian drone attack – a near-daily occurrence in Ukraine for over a month.
Air defence units were reportedly deployed during the hour-long air raid alert.
