Reuters. Falling debris during a Russian air raid triggered two fires in the eastern districts of Kyiv, officials said on Thursday (May 18), as eastern Ukrainian regions saw deadly missile attacks.
The head of Kyiv's military administration, Serhiy Popko, said on Telegram that the Ukrainian capital had been attacked by Russian cruise missiles and that all of them were downed by air defences, providing no information on casualties.
“I got a call about a fire in my garage because of the debris. I came here, saw the situation; rocket debris, damaged car, damaged garage,” one resident told Reuters at a garage facility in the Darnitsya region of the capital, one of the locations where fires broke out from falling debris.
One person was also killed, and two injured, after a Russian missile strike on an industrial facility in the southern Ukrainian city of Odesa on Thursday, according to officials.
