Russia pounded Kyiv with missiles and drones overnight on Thursday, killing at least eight people, wounding more than 70 and smashing buildings in the biggest attack on the Ukrainian capital this year.

Kyiv mayor Vitali Klitschko said eight people had been confirmed killed in the capital, although officials had earlier said nine were killed. Rescue teams were operating at 13 sites in Kyiv with climbing specialists and sniffer dogs, the emergency services said. Forty fires had broken out.

Russia launched 145 drones and 70 missiles, including 11 ballistic missiles, in the overnight attack, Ukraine’s air force said on Telegram. Air force units shot down 112 targets.

Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko said that apart from Kyiv and the surrounding region, seven other regions were under "mass" attack.
