everal injured in Russia's overnight attack on Kyiv as explosions light up Ukraine's sky

Fragments from downed Russian missiles caused a fire in Kyiv, while other Ukrainian cities, including Kharkiv, were also hit, officials said early on Saturday (June 24), as air alerts sounded nationwide.

Serhiy Popko, head of the capital's military administration, said falling fragments started a fire on the 16th, 17th and 18th floors of a 24-story tower block. He said seven people were injured and about 40 cars were damaged in an adjacent car park.

Popko said anti-aircraft units had identified and downed more than 20 missiles.

There were reports of explosions in other cities but no indication of casualties or damage.

Military reports said anti-aircraft units were in action throughout the country.
