Russian air strikes injure 2, cause fire in 9-storey apartment building in Kyiv
Separately, Ukrainian drones damaged civilian infrastructure in the Russian city of Saratov on the Volga River, with no casualties reported.
Russian air strikes on Friday morning injured two individuals and caused a fire in a nine-storey apartment building in Kyiv, according to city authorities who shared the information on Telegram. The attack occurred after a drone alert prompted residents to seek shelter. Separately, Ukrainian drones targeted civilian infrastructure in the Russian city of Saratov, damaging facilities including a large oil refinery and other industrial and military installations.
The Saratov region, a frequent target of Ukrainian strikes, is home to these facilities. However, Reuters could not independently verify these reports, as both Russia and Ukraine deny deliberately targeting civilians.
