Russian missile strike on Ukraine leaves buildings badly damaged and residents injured

mid reports of explosions in the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv City Military Administration released early on Monday (May 29) a video showing a hole in the roof of a building allegedly made by falling debris.

Reuters was not able to independently verify when and where the video was filmed.

Mayor Vitali Klitschko said on the Telegram messaging channel blasts were heard in several districts of the city, including Kyiv's historic neighbourhood of Podil where falling debris damaged a roof on a house.

According to preliminary information from Klitschko and the city's military administration, there were no casualties in the overnight attacks.

The Monday attack, appearing to be a combination of missile and drones, follows the largest drone barrage launched on Kyiv the previous night, which killed one person and injured several. Waves of attacks now come several times a week.

The full scale of the Monday attack was not immediately known. Reuters witnesses said they heard several loud blasts when the city and all of Ukraine were under air raid alerts in early Monday hours.

City officials said Monday's night raid marked Russia's 15th air assault on the city in May and second overnight attack in a row.
