Three people were killed and more than a dozen injured in Ukraine after Russia fired missiles overnight into several cities.

In Kyiv, the capital, three people were killed and 11 wounded on June 24 when a high-rise residential building was hit by a missile, local authorities said.

Meanwhile, 11 people, including three children, were injured in a missile attack on the city of Dnipro that destroyed four homes. Seven of them are currently hospitalized, officials said.

In Kharkiv, a city of more than 1 million people just south of the Russian border, a fire was started after a gas line was hit, Mayor Ihor Terekhov wrote on Telegram. Terekhov said three missiles were fired at the city.

Explosions were also reported in Kremenchuk.
