At least 10 people have been killed following a second night of Russian strikes on Kyiv in a week, the capital’s top military administrator has said.
Timur Tkachenko added that 46 people had been injured, including five children.
Rescue efforts are continuing at over 20 locations, Tkachenko posted on Telegram, adding that residential high-rise buildings were hit in two districts.
The strikes come on the eve of the Nato summit in Turkey, where Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is expected to hold talks with President Trump.
Hours before the latest strikes, Zelensky warned that Moscow was preparing a second “massive strike” on Kyiv following its attacks on Thursday that killed 30 people.
Russian ballistic missiles hit several buildings across the city, Mayor Vitaly Klitschko said, adding that fires had broken out in some apartment complexes.
Warehouses and a garage workshop were also damaged, according to the mayor.
Photos emerging from Kyiv show smouldering wreckage and charred cars littered throughout the city. Footage also shows crews continuing to comb through wreckage on Monday morning to find survivors.
Zelensky said on Sunday, hours ahead of the strikes, that intelligence indicated that Kyiv would come under a second wave of Russian attacks in a week.
After a barrage of drone and missile strikes through Thursday night, tens of thousands of residents evacuated to metro stations around the city as alarms blared in the early hours of Friday morning.
Ukraine accused Moscow of deliberately attacking civilian areas in the attack, which left at least 30 people dead. Russia said it had targeted military and energy bases in retaliation for recent Ukrainian strikes on power stations and energy facilities in Russian territory.
Such attacks continued overnight with power being cut off temporarily in the city of Sevastopol in Russian-occupied Crimea.
Ahead of the Nato meeting, Zelensky urged allies to not delay on supplies of long-range missiles to be used against Russia.
He wrote on X: “Any delay with missiles for our air defense… means the loss of lives, and it encourages Russia to continue the war.”
Zelensky has also appealed to the US to grant Ukraine licences to manufacture Patriot defence missiles.
