Russian forces have launched a major drone and missile attack on the Ukrainian capital Kyiv overnight, killing at least nine people, officials say.
Several neighbourhoods were evacuated as strikes rocked buildings throughout the city, hours after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warned Russia was preparing for a "massive" attack.
Children were among the "significant number" of casualties, Tymur Tkachenko, the head of Kyiv's military administration, said.
"The enemy is once again deliberately targeting residential areas and killing civilians," he said early on Thursday. Russia's Ministry of Defence claimed it targeted energy facilities in response to recent Ukrainian strikes.
