In addition, another warehouse building was hit in the Holosiivskyi district. According to Klitschko, the fire was spreading to a nearby three-story building, and emergency services were working at the scene.
A team of medics was also dispatched to Kyiv's Darnytskyi district following a call.
During the Russian attack, a Russian drone struck the building of the My - Ukraina (We Are Ukraine) TV channel, where the United News telethon was being broadcast. Five people were initially reported injured, but the number later increased.
The overnight Russian attack also damaged at least 14 apartment buildings in Kyiv, as well as a school, clinic, supermarket and gas station. The Kyiv City Prosecutor's Office opened criminal proceedings over the war crime.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy also said that during the overnight strike, Russian forces deliberately sought to cause as much damage as possible to civilians in the capital.
