Ukraine updates: Deadly Russian strikes hit Kyiv

Russian strikes hit Kyiv city early on Thursday, killing two, Ukrainian officials said. Thirteen others were injured and several fires blazed as drones and missiles attacked the capital.

"Residential buildings, vehicles, warehouse facilities, office and non-residential buildings are on fire," head of Kyiv's military administration, Tymur Tkachenko, said on the Telegram app.  

"After returning home from shelters, keep your windows closed — there is a lot of smoke," Tkachenko said.

Authorities said six districts had been impacted, especially the Shevchenkivskyi district known for its restaurants, bars and art galleries.

Moscow has not yet commented on the attacks. This comes right after Russia made a record number of overnight drone attacks on Ukraine.

Russia has ramped up attacks on Ukraine in recent days, forcing many to seek safety in bomb shelters overnight.
