Russian forces have launched a major drone and missile attack on the Ukrainian capital Kyiv overnight, killing at least eight people, officials say.
Several neighbourhoods were evacuated as strikes rocked buildings throughout the city, hours after Volodymyr Zelensky warned Russia was preparing for a "massive" attack.
Tymur Tkachenko, the head of Kyiv's military administration, said eight people had been killed and 25 injured.
