Russian missile, drone attack on Kyiv kills at least 10

Russia launched waves of missiles and drones targeting Kyiv early on Monday, killing at least 10 people, authorities said, just hours after Ukraine's president warned that another large-scale attack was imminent.

Another 46 people were injured, according to local officials, as emergency workers searched through the rubble for survivors in residential high-rise buildings at two locations that suffered direct hits.

"These are residential buildings. Places where people slept and lived their ordinary lives," said Tymur Tkachenko, head of Kyiv's City Military Administration, in a post on Telegram.

A residential building in the Podilskyi district partially collapsed, he said. In the Darnytsia district, several multi-storey buildings were damaged, and people were believed to be trapped beneath the rubble.

The attack involved waves of ballistic and cruise missiles, as well as drones. Explosions echoed across the city as civilians sought shelter in underground metro stations.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy had warned just hours earlier that Russia was preparing another large-scale attack on the capital. Monday's assault came just days after a combined Russian strike killed at least 31 people in Kyiv last week.

Zelenskyy renewed his call for Western partners to strengthen Ukraine's air defences, particularly by supplying more Patriot missiles. In a post on Telegram late on Sunday, he said that failing to replenish the country's air defence systems would only embolden Russia to prolong its four-year war.
