At least two people have died after an apartment building in Kyiv was struck by Russian artillery, according to the Ukrainian capital’s emergency services.

Firefighters worked to put out a fire at the building in the Svyatoshyn district, which broke out after the attack.

Two large blasts echoed across the centre of the city just before dawn on Tuesday. Late on Monday, tracer bullets flashed across the night sky as Ukrainian forces apparently targeted an enemy drone.

Kyiv has been spared the worst of the fighting since Russia invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24, but the Russian military is slowly closing in on the city and the shelling has intensified.
