Altogether, four missiles hit Ukraine's capital, smashing into a rail car repair facility, with Ukrainian air defence managing to shoot down one incoming missile, the military said.
No deaths were immediately reported, the city’s mayor, Vitali Klitschko, said, according to Reuters.
Russia's defence ministry claimed that the strike had destroyed tanks and some other weapons provided to Ukraine by European countries, Reuters reported.
Hanna Malyar, Ukraine’s Deputy Minister of Defense, told a local newspaper on Sunday that capturing Kyiv remains Russia’s key goal, the Polish News Agency PAP reported.
Following the attacks, Ukrainian presidential adviser Mikhailo Podolyak tweeted: "The Kremlin resorts to new insidious attacks. Today’s missile strikes at Kyiv have only one goal - kill as many as possible."
Meanwhile, the British Ministry of Defence said in its latest intelligence update that "Ukrainian forces have counterattacked in the contested city of Sieverodonetsk in eastern Ukraine, likely blunting the operational momentum Russian forces previously gained through concentrating combat units and firepower."
