3 killed, 3 injured following Russia's attack on Kyiv

Editor's Note: The number of casualties was changed after local authorities published an update, saying there were three killed people, not four.

Russia launched an attack on Kyiv early in the morning on Jan. 18, killing three people and injuring three others, Kyiv city military administration head Tymur Tkachenko reported.

A 41-year-old woman and two men aged 25 and 43 are among the killed.

According to Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko, windows were shattered, and smoke filled the entrance of a residential building in the Shevchenkivskyi district. Several cars caught fire following the attack.

A water supply pipeline was also damaged in the area. Repair crews have been dispatched to the site, according to Klitschko.  

The glass entrance to the Lukyanivska metro station was also damaged, Klitschko said, adding that the station is currently closed for entry and exit, with trains bypassing it without stopping.

Debris were detected in the city's Desnianskyi district, Tkachenko reported.
