“An entire part of a high residential building was destroyed” in the worst shevchenkivskyi circle, he says, adding that some people are trapped under the ruins.

In the Kyiv region, one woman was killed and two other people were injured in Russian air attack, says the regional head Mykola Kalashnyk.

The Russian army has not commented on this issue.

She posted footage showing that the shocked residents left a destroyed high -rail building that was still burning.

A number of flames are reported throughout the capital.
