Four people have been killed in a Russian air strike on Kyiv overnight, BBC News reported.

A previous air raid had just ended when another was activated at 6:00 am (04:00 GMT), with authorities warning of a ballistic missile threat and urging residents to head for shelter.

The city’s mayor, Vitaliy Klitschko, said windows were shattered in the central Shevchenkivskyi district, including at a metro station, and a fire broke out in a non-residential building. It is not clear what was targeted.

At the scene, there is a large crater in the road outside a business centre, a tall glass tower which is itself very badly damaged by a next missile or very large fragment.

Tymur Tkachenko, head of the Kyiv City Military Administration, reported that three people were killed in Kyiv’s Shevchenkivskyi district in the Russian attack – two men aged 43 and 25, and a woman, 41. Three more people received medical assistance on site.

Windows were shattered in the central Shevchenkivskyi district, including at a metro station Lukianivka, and a fire broke out in a non-residential building, Klitschko, said. It is not clear what was targeted. Everything around it – including the local McDonald’s – has been similarly damaged.
