Nov 25 (Reuters) – Russian drones swarmed the Ukrainian capital Kyiv early on Tuesday, striking and triggering fires in at least two residential buildings, officials said.

No casualties were reported. Air defence units were in action around the capital.

Mayor Vitali Klitschko, writing on the Telegram messaging app, said a high-rise building was being evacuated after being hit in the Pechersk district in the city centre.

Pictures posted on unofficial channels showed parts of a building ablaze.

Tymur Tkachenko, head of the capital’s military administration, said another high-rise residential building had been hit in a district on the opposite bank of the Dnipro River, and pictures showed several apartments on fire on upper floors.

Klitschko also reported disruptions to the city’s power and water supplies.
