The strike injured five civilians, with two requiring hospitalization, according to Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko. Ukrainian air defenses claim to have intercepted two missiles, with falling debris causing the reported injuries and damage.
President Volodymyr Zelensky renewed his plea to Western allies for additional air defense systems to counter the relentless attacks. "More air defence is what Ukraine needs," he stressed. "It protects our cities and saves lives."
Despite renewed Russian offensives aiming to capture settlements in the Donbas region, the war's frontlines remain largely unchanged.
Monday's strikes coincide with Russia attempting to connect the deadly Moscow concert hall bombing to Ukraine. The Islamic State has claimed responsibility, releasing footage from the attackers, identified as Tajikistani citizens. Analysts believe President Putin might use this attack, which killed 137 people, as justification for further escalation in Ukraine.
This follows two recent attacks on Kyiv: a missile barrage on Thursday, the first in six weeks, and a large-scale assault on Ukraine's energy sector on Friday, which Russia claims was retaliation for strikes on its territory.
The latest strike caused significant damage to a three-story building in Kyiv's Pechersk district, according to the city's military administration. (ILKHA)
