An overnight Russian drone attack on the Kyiv region killed one person, injured at least two and set several houses on fire, governor of the region that surrounds the Ukrainian capital, Mykola Kalashnyk, said on Wednesday.
The body of a civilian was found in a residential house that caught fire as a result of the attack, Kalashnyk wrote in a post on the Telegram messaging app.
"My condolences to the family and loved ones," he said.
The Emergency Service of Ukraine said that two people, born in 2005 and 1981, were injured in the Russian attack on the Bucha district of the Kyiv region and were receiving medical assistance.
The emergency service posted several photos and video on Telegram of firefighters battling flames at night in what appeared to be residential buildings and garages.
Throughout the night, Reuters witnesses said they heard blasts in and around Kyiv and what sounded like air defence systems in operation.
Kyiv, the region surrounding it and the eastern half of Ukraine were under air raid alerts for several hours on Tuesday, according to Ukraine's air force data.
There was no immediate comment from Russia.
Both sides deny targeting civilians in the war, which Russia started three years ago in February 2022. But thousands of civilians have been killed in the conflict, the vast majority of them Ukrainian.
