UPDATE 0656 GMT:

The toll has risen to 11 civilians murdered by Russia’s strikes, with one of the wounded dying in hospital.

Air defenses intercepted 37 of 68 missiles and 326 of 351 drones fired by Russia overnight, but 29 missiles and 18 UAVs hit 34 locations.

ORIGINAL ENTRY: At least 10 civilians have been killed and at least 56 injured by Russian missile and drone strikes on Ukraine’s capital Kyiv and the surrounding region.

A residential building was partially destroyed between the 5th and 9th floors in the Podilskyi district. Residential multi-story buildings were also struck in the Obolonskyi and Holosiivskyi districts, and three apartment blocks targeted in the Darnytskyi district.

Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said “non-residential buildings”, several garages, and a warehouse were destroyed. Homes, businesses, and other civilian infrastructure was damaged in the capital’s suburbs.

Nine civilians were murdered and 46 wounded in the city. Another person was slain and 10 injured in communities just outside the capital. The toll is expected to rise.

Explosions were reported around 1:40 a.m. with subsequent waves of strikes at 2:10 a.m. and 3:15 a.m. Thousands of residents headed to underground metro stations for shelter.

Air raid alerts were issued for almost all of Ukraine’s regions. Poland scrambled fighter jets to protect the country’s airspace.

Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky warned in his nightly address, “Intelligence once again indicates that the Russians are preparing a new massive strike. This is typical of Putin, right after America’s Independence Day and before the NATO Summit in Ankara [on Wednesday].”

Last Thursday the Russians murdered 30 civilians and wounded almost 100 as they try to break resistance in Kyiv.
