A Russian drone strike killed a teenager in Kyiv during a nighttime barrage on the Ukrainian capital that lasted for hours, officials said, while four people were reportedly killed in a missile attack on central Ukraine that also left at least 20 injured.
According to Kyiv Mayor Vitalii Klitschko, the drone slammed into a 25-storey apartment block Friday night in the city’s west, killing a 15-year-old girl and injuring five others. Ukraine’s Emergency Service said 100 people were evacuated following the strike, which damaged several apartments on the building’s upper floors. Serhii Popko, who heads Kyiv’s local military administration, said that Russian forces overnight pummelled the city for 7 1/2 hours.
