STORY: Russia's largest overnight air attack of the war left three people dead, including an infant, whose body was pulled from the rubble, Ukrainian officials said on Sunday (September 7).

State emergency officials said that 18 people were injured in the overnight attack that sowed fires throughout the city.

In the western district of Sviatoshynskyi, several floors of a nine-story residential building were partially destroyed, Kyiv's Mayor Vitali Klitschko and emergency officials said.

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

Ukraine's Air Force said on Telegram that Russia launched 805 drones into Ukraine overnight and 13 missiles, with Ukrainian defence units downing 751 drones and four missiles.

That was the highest number of drones Russia has used to attack the country since Moscow launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

Moscow did not immediately comment on the attacks. Both sides deny targeting civilians in the strikes, but thousands have died in the war so far.
