The Ukrainian capital came under a wave of attacks overnight, the first such strikes since 28 September. <\/p>\n
A couple in their 60s were killed when a drone hit their high-rise building in the city, and four people were killed in the wider Kyiv region. Among the victims were a woman, a six-month-old baby and a girl aged 12.<\/p>\n
The mayor of Kharkiv said later that a 40-year-old man was killed and five other people were hurt in a series of drone attacks. A private kindergarten was hit and children were among the wounded, said Mayor Ihor Terekhov.<\/p>\n
The capital was under a ballistic missile warning for most of the night, and echoed to the sound of explosions. By morning rescue teams fought fires in residential buildings.<\/p>\n
Across Ukraine, Russian attacks once again targeted energy infrastructure and emergency power outages were imposed in several areas.<\/p>\n
One MP in Kyiv, Inna Sovsun, told the BBC that the air raids had lasted throughout the night and were definitely an attack on the power supply: “for the majority like myself it means we don’t have electricity and we don’t have water.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Ukrainian capital came under a wave of attacks overnight, the first such strikes since 28 September.
