“It shows their desperation,” said Andriy Yermak, head of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s staff.
Mayor Vitalii Klitschko said residential buildings in the central Shevchenkivskiy area had been damaged.
A week ago, the capital was hit by Russian missiles at rush hour, part of nationwide attacks which left 19 dead.
The Ukrainian port city of Mykolaiv was also targeted by kamikaze drones late on Sunday, according to the city’s mayor.
Oleksandr Senkevich said three drones had set fire to tanks of sunflower oil, hours before the attack in Kyiv.BBC
