Ammon News - Russia pummeled Ukraine’s capital Kyiv with ballistic missiles early on Saturday, injuring at least six people, 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.

A transformer substation was on fire as well, said Mayor Vitali Klitschko, while windows were blown out in some residential buildings.

Russia has stepped up attacks in the capital in recent weeks. So far this month, strikes on Kyiv and the surrounding region have killed more than 60 people.
