Russia launched massive missile strikes on Ukrainian capital Kyiv on Sunday killing at least one person and wounding more than 20. The strikes come after Moscow threatened to retaliate after Ukraine launched a drone barrage in the Russian-occupied east, which Moscow said hit a college dormitory and killed at least 18 people.
After the Russian attack, head of the Kyiv City Military Administration, Tymur Tkachenko took to Telegram to write, "The capital has come under a mass ballistic missile attack."
He further wrote, "There are currently reports of at least 4 locations affected by the attack: Shevchenkivsky, Dniprovsky and Podilsky districts. Fires and damage to residential buildings are preliminarily reported."
Several residential buildings were damaged across Kyiv, including a school building said Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko.

While Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy claimed Russia also fired Oreshnik, a Russian nuclear-capable hypersonic missile as part of massive overnight strikes on Ukraine.
"Three Russian missiles against a water supply facility, a market burnt down, dozens of residential buildings damaged, several ordinary schools, and he (Russian President Vladimir Putin) launched his 'Oreshnik' against Bila Tserkva (in central Ukraine). They are genuinely deranged," Zelensky said on Telegram Sunday.
He also said that allowing use of Oreshnik missile, a nuclear-capable hypersonic missile, by Russia “sets a global precedent for other potential aggressors”.
“If Russia is allowed to destroy lives on such a scale, then no agreement will restrain other similar hatred-based regimes from aggression and strikes. We count on a response from the world – and on a response that is not post factum, but preventive. Pressure must be put on Moscow so that it does not expand the war," said Zelenskyy
