Oct 14 (Reuters) – Russian air strikes killed one person and injured ​one more in ‌Kyiv while also hitting energy facilities in the Ukrainian capital, Mayor Vitali Klitschko ‌said ​on Wednesday.

The ⁠ballistic missile attack ⁠was ongoing during the morning hours.

The fresh strikes follow earlier Russian ​attacks on the energy infrastructure in ⁠Ukraine as temperatures ⁠start to cool ​down with the heating ​season on the horizon.

Reuters ‌witnesses heard multiple explosions in Kyiv as air defences repelled overnight ⁠attacks.

In the Volga River town of Balakovo in Russia, which ⁠invaded ‌Ukraine in ⁠2022, drones killed one ​person ‌and damaged houses, ​a ⁠regional governor said on Telegram.
