Russian air strikes injure 2, cause fire in 9-storey apartment building in Kyiv

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.
