Authorities said on Tuesday that one person was killed and 20 others were injured in reported Russian strikes on Kiev early Tuesday, as multiple explosions rocked the Ukrainian capital.
Kiev Mayor Vitali Klitschko urged residents to remain in shelters while air defense systems responded to the attack.
Klitschko also said that a fire broke out in a 24-story residential building after it was struck by what was believed to be a missile.
Tymur Tkachenko, head of the Kiev City Military Administration, said on a social media platform on Tuesday that Russia was launching ballistic missiles at Kyiv, and the attack had caused one death and 20 injuries.
The Russian side has not responded to the relevant statement so far.

U.S. stocks ended higher and key indexes refreshed new record highs on Monday, fueled by a product announcement from Nvidia.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.09 percent to 51,078.88. The Standard and Poor's 500 added 0.26 percent to 7,599.96. The Nasdaq Composite Index increased by 0.42 percent to 27,086.81.
Nine of the 11 primary Standard and Poor's 500 sectors ended in the red, with utilities and consumer discretionary leading the laggards by losing 3.05 percent and 2.62 percent, respectively. Meanwhile, technology and energy led the gainers by adding 2.48 percent and 1.86 percent, respectively.
The session's momentum was driven by semiconductor giant Nvidia, whose shares jumped more than 6 percent after Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang officially unveiled "RTX Spark," an Arm-based consumer superchip engineered to power local agentic artificial intelligence (AI) applications directly on personal computers.
The announcement triggered significant structural movements across the hardware ecosystem. Dell Technologies and HP, both confirmed as primary launch partners for upcoming Windows-based AI laptops alongside Microsoft's newly teased Surface Laptop Ultra, surged 10.7 percent and 8.51 percent, respectively. Conversely, legacy processor giant Intel saw its shares slide over 4 percent.
For this week, investor focus has rapidly turned toward Friday's upcoming nonfarm payrolls report. Wall Street analysts expect the comprehensive employment update to provide critical clarity on current labor market tightness and heavily influence whether the central bank will maintain its current interest rate trajectory through the upcoming summer policy meetings.
