Kyiv Under Attack: Russian Missiles Ignite Fires and Raise Alarms

Early Sunday, Kyiv was hit by Russian missiles injuring three and causing several fires, the city mayor stated. The attack put all of Ukraine under air alerts with Poland scrambling jets due to border concerns. No immediate confirmation came from Russia.

Early Sunday, Russian missile strikes on Kyiv resulted in three people being injured and several fires breaking out, according to the city's mayor and military administration.

The entire nation was placed under air alerts while Poland scrambled jets due to threats near its border. In Kyiv, mayor Vitali Klitschko reported fires in three districts and medics hospitalizing two civilians in the Darnytskyi district. He urged residents to remain in shelters.

Despite several loud explosions, the full scale of the attack remains unclear, with no reports of strikes near the Polish border. Sunday's attacks follow recent incidents in Mykolaiv and Kryvyi Rih. Both Russia and Ukraine deny targeting civilians amidst efforts to broker a ceasefire.
