A high-rise apartment block was hit by a missile overnight in Kyiv as fighting raged between Russian attackers and Ukrainian forces, officials said Saturday.
Emergency services said the number of victims was “being specified” and that an evacuation was underway.
They posted a picture online of the tower block with a hole covering at least five floors blasted into the side and rubble strewn across the street below.
