As a result of a missile attack by the aggressor country Russia on Kyiv on the evening of 13 October, at least two people were killed. This was reported on Telegram by Mayor Vitali Klitschko.
Initially one death was reported, but as of 1.30 another body was found in a building in the Desnianskyi district. According to Klitschko, 21 people are now known to be injured.
"Among them is an eight-year-old child. 16 of the wounded have been hospitalized. Four of the injured are in critical condition," the head of Kyiv said.
Search-and-rescue operations are ongoing.
Photographer Yan Dobronosov published photos from the scene on Telegram.
"People are screaming and begging for help," he wrote.
Klitschko reported a strike on a nine-story building in the Desnianskyi district. The fire spread through apartments from the first to the eighth floors; residents were evacuated from the upper floors.
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky said that the main target of the ballistic strike was the CHP-4 — one of Kyiv’s major energy facilities. He confirmed the strike.
The Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine warned about the movement of ballistic missiles toward the capital at 22.40. Reporters from the publication "GORDON" noted that explosions were heard earlier than the air raid alert was announced. According to Zelensky, Ukraine again did not receive a warning from partners about the strike, and Ukrainian systems detected the missiles "virtually on approach to Kyiv." He also reported that, according to Ukrainian intelligence, Russia is preparing new ballistic missile launches, and urged Ukrainians to take care of themselves tonight and tomorrow.
