Russian missiles tore into the Ukrainian capital before dawn on Saturday, killing nine people and injuring more than 30 others as part of an intensive, ongoing Russian air campaign.
"This was a horrific night for Kyiv," Vitali Klitschko, the city's mayor, said in a social media post.
The Russian attack included 35 missiles and 185 attack drones, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Only one of 27 ballistic missiles were shot down due to the country's dwindling supply of Patriot air defense missiles, the one weapon the country has to guard against such Russian attacks, Zelenskyy also said.
The bombardment hit five areas of Kyiv, setting off fires that sent rescue crews scrambling throughout the night to pull residents from damaged and burning apartment blocks.
Firefighters doused gutted buildings with hoses. Their beams cut through smoke and darkness, while charred cars were parked in the street and in apartment courtyards. One image taken by the Associated Press showed a covered body near a cluster of burned-out vehicles. In another, blood pooled across a crosswalk littered with broken glass and debris from the blasts.
