Russian air strikes late on October 25 that hit civilian buildings in Kyiv and Dnipro killed at least four people, local officials in the Ukrainian cities said.
A Russian drone struck a residential building in Kyiv, killing one person and injuring four, Mayor Vitaliy Klitschko said on Telegram.
A separate missile strike in the central city of Dnipro hit a residential building and a hospital, killing three people and injuring at least nine, Governor Serhiy Lysak said on Telegram.
Klitschko initially said two people were injured and were treated at the scene but later said one of the injured people had died.
Serhiy Popko, the head of the capital's military administration, said a fire broke out and spread to several apartments in the building located in a district west of the city center.

A picture posted on social media showed a high-rise building shrouded in smoke with fires burning on one of the top floors.
Klitschko said the building was in the Solomyanskiy district and also said the top floors were on fire.
An air-raid alert preceded the strike around 9 p.m. local time for Kyiv and the region around the city as well as in a number of other regions. The alert warned that Shahed drones were moving west from the Chernihiv region.

Other online reports said several strikes hit different areas of Dnipro and included pictures showing damage after an explosion at a city hospital.
