A Russian drone attack near Kyiv killed a rail worker and damaged city buildings. No casualties were reported in the city, but air raid alerts lasted three hours.
(Reuters) - A Russian drone attack killed a rail worker at a crossing outside Kyiv and falling drone fragments struck a building inside the capital, local authorities said on Saturday.
Kyiv region officials said the rail worker was killed in Boryspil district, east of the city. The strike triggered a fire in a storage area and shattered windows in a multi-storey apartment building and an educational institution.
Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said drone fragments fell on private residences in the Solomyanskyi district in the west of the city, triggering a fire that was quickly extinguished and smashing windows in a nearby building. There were no casualties.
Air raid alerts were in effect in Kyiv for about three hours.
In southern Zaporizhzhia region, Russian forces attacked the town of Huliaipole with a guided bomb, injuring three people, the regional governor said. One person died on Thursday in a attack on a village west of Huliaipole.
Reuters could not independently verify the accounts of military activity.
