KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — A Russian drone strike killed a teenager in Kyiv during a nighttime barrage on the Ukrainian capital that lasted for hours, local officials said, while three people were reportedly killed in a missile attack on central Ukraine that left at least 20 injured.

According to Kyiv mayor Vitalii Klitschko, the drone slammed into a 25-storey apartment block Friday night in the city’s west, killing a 15-year-old girl and injuring five others. Ukraine’s Emergency Service said 100 people were evacuated following the strike, which damaged several apartments on the building’s upper floors.

Serhii Popko, who heads Kyiv’s local military administration, said on Saturday that Russian forces overnight pummeled the city for seven and a half hours. Air raid sirens wailed throughout the night, and Popko said that Ukrainian air defense shot down “up to a dozen” Russian drones.

Also late on Friday, a Russian missile hit a residential area in the central city of Dnipro, killing a 14-year-old and two adult women, said regional governor Serhii Lysak, adding that at least 20 others were left with injuries, including an 8-year-old and teenagers. He said the attack damaged thirteen apartment buildings, private houses and a medical facility.
