Russia said it targeted Ukraine’s infrastructure during a massive overnight attack, adding that a hypersonic Oreshnik missile was used, France 24 reports.
A hypersonic missile is one that travels at speeds greater than Mach 5, or five times the speed of sound.
Local officials said a residential building in the Ukrainian capital caught fire following the strike.
The attack on Kyiv took place on January 9, 2026, with emergency services responding to the blaze at the affected residential building.
The strikes came shortly after Moscow denounced a Western plan to station peacekeeping troops in Ukraine after a ceasefire agreement.
Authorities said rescue operations were under way as assessments of damage from the overnight attack continued.
