Kyiv’s mayor described the attack as the “most massive assault” on the Ukrainian capital. Several districts were evacuated after strikes shook buildings across the city. The attacks came hours after President Volodymyr Zelensky warned of an imminent Russian offensive.

BBC correspondent Sarah Rainsford reports from a nine-storey apartment block in Kyiv that was completely destroyed in the attack.
