STORY: Russian forces attacked Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities early on Sunday (May 25), injuring at least 11 people in the capital, killing three people in towns around it and damaging dwellings and other buildings, officials said.

Residents in Kyiv gathered in an underground metro station in the early hours of Sunday, with many bringing chairs, blankets and sleeping bags while they took shelter from the attacks aboveground.

Timur Tkachenko, head of the Kyiv's military administration, said 11 people were injured in drone strikes in the city.,

A five-story apartment building was hit in the Holosiivskyi district just outside the city centre, triggering a fire that damaged the building's exterior. A private home and a business centre were damaged in strikes on other districts.

It was the second consecutive night that a mass attack took place.

Attacks extended to a string of regional centres, including Ukraine's second-largest city, Kharkiv, as well as Mykolaiv in the south and Ternopil in the west.
