At least six people were killed and 52 injured in Russian missile and drone strikes on the Ukrainian capital early Thursday, said local authorities.
Tymur Tkachenko, head of the Kiev City Military Administration, wrote on Telegram that a six-year-old boy was among the victims.
The attack hit 27 locations in the city and destroyed part of a 9-story apartment building, he said.

Rescue operations at the sites of the strikes are going on and the number of victims may rise, according to Tkachenko.
