Ukraine’s capital Kyiv is again under a massive overnight Russian drone attack, local officials say, with at least two people reported killed and 13 injured, and fires burning across the city.<\/p>\n

Authorities in Kyiv say drone wreckage hit the roof of a residential building in the central Shevchenkivskyi district.<\/p>\n

Footage on social media, as yet unverified by the BBC, shows blasts in the night sky, as air defence units begin repelling the attack. Ukraine’s military has also warned of a threat of a ballistic missile attack.<\/p>\n

Ukraine reported the biggest ever Russian aerial attack on Tuesday night,<\/a> after 728 drones and 13 cruise or ballistic missiles struck cities around the country in multiple waves.<\/p>\n

In the early hours of Thursday morning, Kyiv’s military administration reported Russian drone strikes in six city districts.<\/p>\n

“Residential buildings, vehicles, warehouses, office and non-residential buildings are burning,” administration head Tymur Tkachenko said in a post on Telegram.<\/p>\n

“Unfortunately, we have two dead,” he later said. “These people were killed by the Russians. This is a terrible loss”.<\/p>\n

City residents have been urged to shelter until the air raid siren is lifted, and also close the windows when they return to their homes because there is a “lot of smoke” in Kyiv.<\/p>\n

Overnight, Ukraine’s air force reported a threat of Russian drone attacks in a number of regions. It was not immediately clear whether there were any casualties outside Kyiv.<\/p>\n

Russia’s military has not commented on the reported latest attack.<\/p>\n
