Nine people were injured and several apartments were set on fire in Russia's persistent 19th attack on the Ukrainian capital, according to officials in Kyiv on Wednesday.

Ukraine's air force reported that Russia fired 62 drones overnight. Air defense units successfully destroyed 33 of them over Kyiv and other regions, but 25 drones remain unaccounted for.

Debris from a destroyed drone caused a fire in a multi-story apartment building in Kyiv's Solomianskyi district, injuring nine people, including an 11-year-old girl. Images showed blown-out windows of a damaged kindergarten nearby.
