Russian forces have bombed the Ukrainian capital Kyiv, killing a 12-year-old child and wounding at least 10 people, including several doctors, according to the city’s mayor.
The child was killed early on Thursday in Kyiv’s Podilskyi district, where rocket fragments hit a 16-storey building and caused a fire at a residential building, Mayor Vitali Klitschko wrote in a post on Telegram.
He said rescuers have pulled another child and her mother from the rubble in Podilskyi.
The attack also hit Kyiv’s Obolonsky district, with falling rocket debris causing a large fire at a non-residential building. “Cars are also on fire,” Klitschko wrote.
