KYIV - Russia pummelled Ukraine’s capital Kyiv with ballistic missiles early on Saturday, officials said.

A Reuters witness heard a series of powerful explosions in the city before the air alert was announced.

The attack damaged a non-residential building in one district, while smoke was coming from another and an office building was in flames as a result of the strike, the city military administration said on the Telegram messaging app.
