At least 10 people were injured, local authorities said, citing preliminary figures. Air raid sirens blared through the night as smoke billowed across the city from strikes. Associated Press reporters heard powerful explosions near the city center and close to government buildings.<\/p>\n

The attack was ongoing by sunrise Sunday, with more missiles and drones expected to reach Kyiv. <\/p>\n

Damage was recorded across at least nine districts of the capital including residential buildings, Kyiv military administration head Tymur Tkachenko said in a Telegram post.<\/p>\n

In Kyiv\u2019s Shevchenko district, a school building was damaged by an attack while people sheltered inside, Mayor Vitalii Klitschko said. Local authorities reported supermarkets and warehouses across the city also were damaged.<\/p>\n

Multiple communities recorded damage throughout the Kyiv region, according to Mykola Kalashnyk, the regional governor.<\/p>\n

Earlier, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned that Russia was planning to use the hypersonic Oreshnik ballistic missile, citing intelligence from the U.S. and Western partners. Ukraine\u2019s Air Force later warned of a possible launch of the Oreshnik. <\/p>\n

It was not immediately clear if the missile had been used in the overnight attack. <\/p>\n

Russia first used the multiple-warhead Oreshnik<\/span> on the Ukrainian city of Dnipro in November 2024. It was used a second time in January in the western Lviv region. <\/p>\n

President Vladimir Putin said the Oreshnik, which means \u201chazelnut tree\u201d in Russian, streaks at 10 times the speed of sound, or Mach 10, and is capable of destroying underground bunkers \u201cthree, four or more floors down.\u201d <\/p>\n

The weapon travels \u201clike a meteorite\u201d and is immune to any missile defense system, Putin said, adding that several such missiles, even fitted with conventional warheads, could be as devastating as a nuclear strike.<\/p>\n
