Ninety-one people were injured, the head of Kyiv's military administration, Timur Tkachenko, said. Mayor Vitaly Klitschko said an ambulance station was among the places hit. Although previous attacks have killed more people, this latest barrage deployed the largest number of weapons on the capital and hit locations over a wide area. Several neighbourhoods were evacuated as strikes hit the city hours after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warned Russia was preparing an attack.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Thursday that Russia would "continue to increase pressure on the Kyiv regime in order to achieve our set goals". Ukraine accused Moscow of targeting civilian areas and said it would be wrong to equate the actions of the "aggressor and a country defending itself". Kyiv's metro authorities said 52,500 people, including 4,500 children, sheltered in underground stations overnight, which they said was the highest number in "recent years". Among the places hit a high-rise block of flats on the city's left bank, in Darnitskyi district in south-east Kyiv, where two missiles caused devastation. One missile left a giant crater next to a kindergarten and the buildings all around have been gutted by fire, their metal balconies twisted. The second missile landed a few steps away and hit the end of a nine-storey block of flats. It has collapsed, sliding off the face of the building, into a heap of concrete. One local told the BBC that several people were missing and they may have been sheltering in the basement. Rescuers were trying to dig through the rubble to reach them as relatives watched, in tears. Svitlana, who lives next to the building that was hit, told the BBC she was hiding in the corridor during the air raid and heard the explosions. "It wasn't scary," she shrugged, "because I've been through it all before." She then revealed that she had been badly injured in another Russian strike on another town which killed her mother.
