Missile strikes have made ordinary urban life in Ukraine increasingly dangerous, as civilian casualties continue to mount with missile strikes and coordinated bombings.

Fragments from downed Russian missiles started a fire that killed at least two people and injured eight others in Kyiv, on Saturday, according to Ukrainian officials.

A Telegram post from Serhiy Popko, the head of Kyiv’s military administration, revealed that falling debris caused a fire on several floors of a 24-story apartment building in a central district, The Associated Press reported.

More than 20 missiles were detected and taken down by anti-aircraft units, Popko said. Video of the scene appeared to show the upper floors of the building on fire and the parking lot covered with ash and debris.

At least three Russian missiles targeted Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-biggest city, and one of them started a fire after striking a gas line, according to Mayor Ihor Terekhov. He said emergency services were at the scene but did not disclose the number of casualties – if any.

The mayor of Dnipro, a city in eastern Ukraine, also reported damage as eight private homes were destroyed in an attack.
