A baby was among three people who died in overnight Russian attacks in Kiev, which wounded 18 people and set fire to dozens of buildings in the capital, including the government headquarters, Ukrainian officials said Sunday.

Kiev Mayor Vitali Klitschko said a fire broke out in the government building in the city center after the attack, which began with drones shooting down, followed by missile strikes.

Reuters witnesses saw thick smoke rising from the building in the city's Pecherskyi district.

The drone strikes killed the baby and a young woman, Klitschko said on the Telegram messaging app, while a pregnant woman was among the five wounded hospitalized.

Earlier, Klitschko had said an elderly woman died in a bomb shelter in the leafy Darnytskyi neighborhood east of the Dnipro River, the site of two other deaths.

State emergency officials said a fire broke out on two of the four floors of a residential building in the neighborhood hit by the drone strike, with its structure partially destroyed.

In the western neighborhood of Sviatoshynskyi, several floors of a nine-story residential building were partially destroyed, Klitschko and emergency officials said.

Falling drone debris caused fires in a 16-story apartment building and two other nine-story buildings, the mayor added.

Smoke billowed from apartment buildings, some with partially collapsed floors and destroyed facades, in photos posted on social media by emergency officials.

Russia was "deliberately and knowingly striking civilian targets," Timur Tkachenko, head of the capital's military administration, said on Telegram.

Dozens of explosions rocked the central Ukrainian city of Kremenchuk, knocking out electricity in several areas, Mayor Vitalii Maletskyi said on Telegram.

Russian attacks on Krivyi Rih in the same region targeted transport and urban infrastructure, Oleksandr Vilkul, head of the military administration, said on Telegram, but no injuries were reported.

In the southern city of Odessa, civil infrastructure and residential buildings were damaged, with fires breaking out in several apartment blocks, regional governor Oleh Kiper said on Telegram.

Moscow did not immediately comment. Both sides deny targeting civilians in attacks, but thousands of people have died in the war that Russia launched with a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

As western Ukraine faces the threat of air strikes, Poland activated its own and allied aircraft to ensure air security, the operational command of the Polish armed forces said.
