At least 10 people have been injured after Russia fired missiles into Kyiv on Thursday, during a visit by UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres.

The rockets shook the central Shevchenko district and one of them struck the lower floors of a 25-storey residential building, wounding at least 10 people.

Rescue officials said one person lost a leg and others suffered injuries from being trapped in the rubble when two buildings were hit.

The bombardment came barely an hour after Mr Guterres completed talks with Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky.
