Russia launched a large-scale missile and drone attack on Ukraine’s capital Kyiv overnight Sunday, damaging buildings across the city and injuring at least 10 people, local authorities said.

The intense assault shook several areas in central Kyiv, including locations near government offices, residential buildings and schools.

Air raid sirens sounded throughout the night as smoke rose over different parts of the city following the strikes. Associated Press journalists in Kyiv reported hearing loud explosions near the city center and government areas.

Officials said the attack was still continuing by sunrise, with more missiles and drones expected to hit the capital.

According to Kyiv military administration chief Tymur Tkachenko, damage was reported in at least nine districts of the city, including residential buildings.

Kyiv Mayor Vitalii Klitschko said a school building in the Shevchenko district was damaged while people were taking shelter inside.

Authorities also reported damage to supermarkets and warehouses in different parts of the capital.

In the wider Kyiv region, several communities were affected by the attacks, regional governor Mykola Kalashnyk said.

Earlier, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned that Russia could use its hypersonic Oreshnik ballistic missile, citing intelligence information shared by the United States and Western allies.

Ukraine’s Air Force later also warned about a possible launch of the Oreshnik missile, although officials had not confirmed whether it was used in the overnight strikes.

Russia first used the Oreshnik missile against the Ukrainian city of Dnipro in November 2024 and later used it again in the western Lviv region in January.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has claimed the missile travels at 10 times the speed of sound and can destroy underground bunkers several floors deep.

Putin also said the missile is capable of bypassing missile defense systems and, even with conventional warheads, can cause destruction similar to a nuclear strike.
