KYIV: A missile attack on the Ukrainian capital Kyiv early yesterday injured at least three people and caused several blazes, the mayor said, two days after a Russian strike killed 18 people in President Volodymyr Zelensky's hometown.

Vitali Klitschko said paramedics had been sent to two districts in Kyiv, while the Ukrainian air force said missiles had entered the northern Chernihiv region.
"Explosions in the capital. Air defense is in operation," Mr Klitschko said on Telegram.
"The missile attack on Kyiv continues. Stay in shelters!"
He added that three people were injured so far, when fires broke out in non-residential buildings and eight cars were damaged.
The attacks come as US President Donald Trump pushes for a partial ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, more than three years into Moscow's full-scale invasion, and seeks a thaw in ties with the Kremlin. Poland's military said it and allied forces had taken to the skies in response to Russian strikes across the border in western Ukraine, with ground-based air defence systems on high alert.
