Russian forces launched a combined drone and missile attack on Kyiv early Saturday, killing at least three people, Ukrainian officials said.

Three other people were wounded, according to city military administration chief Timur Tkachenko. A shopping mall, metro station, business center and water pipe were also damaged in the attack, he said.

Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said air defenses were in operation around the city. Ukrainian air force spokesperson Yurii Ihnat told Ukrainian media that both missiles that had been aimed at Kyiv were destroyed, but that one of them was shot down at a low altitude, causing major damage.

“Everyone who is helping the Russian state in this war must be put under such pressure that it is felt no less than these strikes. We can only do this in unity with the whole world,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on social media.

The Russian defense ministry called the attack “retaliation” for Ukraine’s use of U.S.-supplied ATACMS missiles in strikes on Russian territory.

“The Russian armed forces carried out a group strike with precision-guided weapons against Ukrainian military-industrial facilities, including the Luch Design Bureau that develops and manufactures long-range guided missiles,” the Russian Defense Ministry said.

City officials said the victims were two men, ages 43 and 25, and a 41-year-old woman. An earlier death toll said four people were killed in the attack, but it was later revised to three.

“These acts merely underscore the enemy’s ruthlessness and barbarity,” Ukrainian parliamentary ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets wrote on social media.

More Russian attacks

In another overnight attack, Russia struck the southeastern city of Zaporizhzhia, where the regional governor said 10 people were injured. Eight of them, aged between 28 to 69, were hospitalized. A 48-year-old woman was reported in serious condition, local Governor Ivan Fedorov said in a statement.

On Friday, a Russian missile attack killed at least four people and injured at least 14 others in the south-central Ukrainian city of Kryvyi Rih, Zelenskyy said in his daily address.

“Such strikes, such losses, simply would not have happened if we had received all the necessary air defense systems that we have been talking about with our partners for such a long time and that are available in the world,” he said.

Zelenskyy, who was born in Kryvyi Rih, condemned the attack on Telegram. “Each such terrorist attack is another reminder of who we are dealing with. Russia will not stop on its own — it can only be stopped by joint pressure,” he said.

The attack also damaged an educational facility and two five-story buildings, officials said.

Ukrainian drone attack

Meanwhile, a Ukrainian drone attack late Friday ignited a fire at an industrial site in Russia’s Kaluga region, about 170 kilometers from the shared border.

“As a result of a drone attack in Lyudinovo, a fire broke out on the territory of an industrial enterprise,” regional Governor Vladislav Shapsha posted on Telegram.
