Five people, including a child, were injured during a mass Russian attack on Kyiv on Nov. 29, authorities said.
"There are already five victims in the capital. Two of them, including a child, were hospitalized," Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko wrote on Telegram.
The child was injured in the Shevchenkivskyi district, according to Tymur Tkachenko, head of the city's military administration.
Damage was reported at at least six locations across the city, including the Darnytskyi, Shevchenkivskyi, and Solomyanskyi districts. A residential building and several cars were damaged in the Solomyanskyi district.
Earlier, Kyiv Independent journalists on the ground reported hearing explosions and seeing drones as authorities warned of a combined drone and missile attack.
"The enemy has once again launched a combined attack on the capital — air defense is operating," Tkachenko said on social media.
Initial strikes were first reported in Kyiv's Darnytskyi and Shevchenkivskyi districts, during which a residential high rise building was damaged.
Russia regularly attacks cities across Ukraine, often targeting civilian infrastructure and resulting in civilian casualties. Just a few days ago, a mass Russian strike on Kyiv killed seven people and injured another 20.
