-

Sept 3 (Reuters) - ‌A Russian attack on ​the Ukrainian capital Kyiv on Thursday killed ⁠one person, triggered a fire and badly damaged a high-rise residential ​building, officials said.

The city's military administration ‌said on Telegram that one person had been killed in the evening attack.

Mayor ⁠Vitali Klitschko, writing on ⁠Telegram, said the ninth floor of a high-rise residence had been damaged. Fifteen people had been ‌evacuated from the building in a ⁠district just outside ‌the city centre.

Video published ​on unofficial Telegram channels showed a large fireball rising skywards. Unofficial ‌channels said the building ​had been ⁠struck by a jet-powered drone.

Klitschko ‌said six people ⁠had been wounded in earlier strikes on the capital, which has been ​subject to ‌more than a week of sustained ⁠attacks.
