Rescue operations are still underway in the western Sviatoshynskyi district, where a missile strike partially destroyed an apartment building.
In total, emergency teams have responded to 13 locations across Kyiv to address the damage.
In addition to Kyiv, the attack also targeted eight other regions across Ukraine.
