KYIV, Ukraine — Russian missiles tore into the Ukrainian capital before dawn on Saturday, killing nine people and injuring more than 30 others as part of an intensive, ongoing Russian air campaign.

“This was a horrific night for Kyiv,” Vitali Klitschko, the city’s mayor, said in a social media post.

The Russian attack included 35 missiles and 185 attack drones, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Only one of 27 ballistic missiles were shot down due to the country’s dwindling supply of Patriot air defense missiles, the one weapon the country has to guard against such Russian attacks, Zelenskyy also said.

The bombardment hit five areas of Kyiv, setting off fires that sent rescue crews scrambling throughout the night to pull residents from damaged and burning apartment blocks.

Firefighters doused gutted buildings with hoses. Their beams cut through smoke and darkness, while charred cars were parked in the street and in apartment courtyards. One image taken by the Associated Press showed a covered body near a cluster of burned-out vehicles. In another, blood pooled across a crosswalk littered with broken glass and debris from the blasts.

Casualties in multiple Kyiv neighborhoods

Explosions woke residents around 1:30 a.m local time, with doors in residential building hallways blown off their hinges, windows shattered and roofing collapsed.

The heaviest toll came in the Darnytskyi district, where seven people died and 14 were hurt, according to Ukraine’s state emergency service. In the Solomianskyi district, falling debris and a blaze damaged a five-story apartment building. Crews pulled 35 residents from its upper floors. Two people did not survive, and children were among the injured. Firefighters also halted a blaze in a non-residential building in the Shevchenkivskyi district, and officials reported damage to commercial and residential property in two additional districts.

Lithuania’s foreign minister said his country’s embassy in Kyiv sustained damage when missiles hit nearby.
