Kyiv mayor says drones and missiles attack city, triggering fires

(Reuters) -Ukraine’s capital Kyiv was coming under a combined drone and missile attack early on Saturday, Mayor Vitaly Klitschko said.

Timur Tkachenko, head of the capital’s military administration, said two fires had broken out in the city’s Sviatoshinskyi district. Drone fragments had hit the ground there and in three other districts.

Officials said anti-aircraft units were in action.

Reuters witnesses reported waves of drones flying over the city, which had been jolted by a series of explosions.
