At least three people died, including two children, in this attack, he indicated on the social network, as did the military administration of kyiv, notes AFP.
“Three people died and four people were injured in the Desnyansky district,” the Kyiv military administration wrote on Telegram. “Among the three dead in the Desnyansky district, there were two children (aged 5-6 and 12-13),” according to the same source.
“According to the first reports of rescuers, three dead, including two children, and four injured were found” in this part of kyiv, explained Vitali Klitschko.
Several Russian missiles had been fired in the direction of the Ukrainian capital this week. On Monday, an unusual daytime attack on kyiv had led residents to take cover.
