2 killed in Russian drone strike on Kyiv: Ukraine

Explosions boomed across the sky as Ukraine's air force warned of incoming drones, and Mayor Vitali Klitschko said air defenses were repelling an enemy attack.

Two floors of a residential building in central Kyiv were partially destroyed in the strike, according to the State Emergency Service. Two people were killed, it said.

Photos posted by the agency showed firefighters dousing a gutted corner of a building and rescuers helping elderly victims.
