A Russian overnight attack on Ukraine's capital, Kyiv, killed at least nine people and injured dozens, Ukrainian officials said Saturday. The strikes hit multiple residential areas, and search-and-rescue teams continued working through the morning to reach people trapped under rubble.

City officials said the damaged buildings included several multi-story apartment blocks. Power and water outages persisted in parts of the city following the attack.

Ukrainian officials condemned the strikes and renewed calls for allies to bolster air-defense support. Western governments responding to the attack criticized strikes on civilian areas.
