At least five people have been killed in overnight Russian strikes on Kyiv, in what was described as a major attack on the Ukrainian capital.

Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said a children’s hospital had been damaged during the strikes. The damage was reported after the city came under attack overnight, adding to the human toll confirmed in the capital.

The attack was attributed to Russia and struck Kyiv during the night. The confirmed number of deaths stands at at least five, although no further details on the identities of those killed were provided in the supplied material.

The reported damage to a children’s hospital is a significant consequence of the strikes, given the nature of the facility and its role in treating young patients. The extent of the damage and any disruption to medical services were not specified.

The latest confirmed situation is that Kyiv has suffered overnight Russian strikes, at least five people have died, and the city’s mayor has reported damage to a children’s hospital.
