(Reuters) -Fragments from a Russian drone triggered a fire and caused damage to an apartment building in the Ukrainian capital Kyiv early on Sunday, a senior Ukrainian official said.
Timur Tkachenko, head of the capital’s military administration, said the incident occurred in the Holosiivskyi district, just outside the city centre.
“The building has been partly destroyed and there is a fire. Rescue teams are at the site,” Tkachenko said.
Tkachenko earlier said there were 10 drones above the city and more coming.
Reuters witnesses heard anti-aircraft units in operation around the city.
