Quote from State Emergency Service: "As of 10:00, two people have been killed. First responders have managed to rescue 28 people."
Later, rescue workers recovered the body of another person from under the rubble of a high-rise residential building in the Darnytskyi district following the attack. The death toll has therefore risen to three.
Update: Klitschko reported later that the number of people injured had risen to 32, including a one-month-old baby.
The number injured later increased to 40, including two children.
"Forty people have been injured in the capital as a result of the enemy large-scale attack. Among them are two children. Thirty-one of the injured have been taken to hospital, including one child," Klitschko said.
Details: Klitschko said part of a residential building had collapsed in the Darnytskyi district, destroying 18 apartments in total.
Rescue workers managed to save 27 people in Kyiv's Darnytskyi district, but people may still be trapped under the rubble of the damaged residential building.
"Emergency response operations are currently ongoing in the Obolonskyi, Darnytskyi and Holosiivskyi districts," Petrov added.
Klitschko also reported water supply disruptions on the left bank of the city following the attack.
