Three people were injured after Russia launched a ballistic missile attack on Kyiv early July 11, with damage reported in multiple districts of the Ukrainian capital, local officials said.
Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said two of the injured were hospitalized, while the third received medical treatment at the scene.
Kyiv Independent journalists on the ground initially reported hearing explosions at around 3:40 a.m. local time. Ukraine's Air Force subsequently warned that Russian ballistic missiles were heading toward the capital.
Klitschko reported damage in the capital's Dniprovskyi district and said Russia was attacking with ballistic missiles. Kyiv Independent journalists heard additional explosions at about 3:55 a.m.
A building was damaged in the Sviatoshynskyi district, according to Kyiv City Military Administration head Tymur Tkachenko. He later said a fire had broken out in an office building in the Solomianskyi district.
The attack came two days after Russia launched drones and ballistic missiles at Kyiv on July 8, killing four people and injuring 15 others. Russia has repeatedly attacked the capital in recent weeks, including on July 2 and July 6, killing and injuring dozens of people.
