Russians conducted a mass missile attack on Kyiv, as reported by Ukrainian media. The incident took place just after the air raid warning signal was activated. "After the explosions in the sky over the eastern bank of Kyiv, a column of smoke could be seen," it was reported.

Ukrainian media report that on March 25, the Russian military conducted a mass missile attack on the center of Kyiv. It was reported that in Kyiv, "numerous explosions were heard." The attack occurred one minute after the air raid warning signal was activated.

A reporter of "Kyiv Independent" reported, that around 8:30 AM Greenwich Time there were at least four explosions in Kyiv.

After the explosions in the sky over the eastern bank of Kyiv, a column of smoke could be seen - it was reported.

As a result of the attack, one of the residential buildings was said to be destroyed. Portal Nexta reported on X, that "according to preliminary information, the occupiers are attacking the city with ballistic missiles. An air raid alert was also announced in other regions of Ukraine".

Authorities of Kyiv react

In response to the Russian offensive, the authorities of Kyiv have issued an appeal to residents to "urgently seek shelter" from the attacks. The city's mayor, Vitali Klitschko, has confirmed that four people were injured.

Two of them were treated on the spot, while two others (including a 16-year-old girl) were transported to the hospital. The exact toll of this attack is not yet known - services are working on it.
