Russian ballistic missiles struck at least two districts in the Ukrainian capital Kyiv early on Thursday (July 16), triggering fires and killing two people, officials said.

Mayor Vitali Klitschko, writing on Telegram, said two people had died and six others, including a 16-year-old teenager, had been injured in the attacks.

Reuters witnesses heard a series of explosions in the city.

Ukraine's emergency services said a fire broke out in two storage buildings and nearby parked trucks in one of the districts, where the two people had died.

In the city's Svyatoshynskyi district west of the city centre, a fire broke out in a one-story warehouse.

Five people were injured in the two incidents, the emergency services said.
