At least 10 people have been killed and 46 injured, including five children, in a second night of Russian strikes on Kyiv within a week, according to the city's top military administrator, Timur Tkachenko.
Rescue operations are ongoing at over 20 locations, Tkachenko said on Telegram, adding that residential high-rise buildings were hit in two districts.
The strikes come on the eve of the NATO summit in Turkey, where Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is expected to hold talks with U.S. President Donald Trump.
Hours before the latest strikes, Zelensky warned that Moscow was preparing a second 'massive strike' on Kyiv following Thursday's attack that killed 30 people.
Russian ballistic missiles hit several buildings across the city, Mayor Vitaly Klitschko said, with fires breaking out in some apartment complexes. Warehouses and a garage workshop were also damaged.
Photos from Kyiv show smoldering wreckage and charred cars, with rescue crews continuing to comb through debris Monday morning to find survivors.
Zelensky said Sunday that intelligence indicated Kyiv would face a second wave of Russian attacks within a week. After Thursday's barrage of drone and missile strikes, tens of thousands of residents evacuated to metro stations.
Ukraine accused Moscow of deliberately targeting civilian areas. Russia claimed it had struck military and energy facilities in retaliation for recent Ukrainian attacks on power stations and energy infrastructure on Russian territory.
The attacks continued overnight, temporarily cutting power in the city of Sevastopol in Russian-occupied Crimea.
Ahead of the NATO meeting, Zelensky urged allies not to delay supplies of long-range missiles for use against Russia. 'Any delay with missiles for our air defense... means the loss of lives, and it encourages Russia to continue the war,' he wrote on X.
Zelensky has also appealed to the U.S. to grant Ukraine licenses to manufacture Patriot defense missiles.
