Russia attacked Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, with ballistic missiles overnight on 19 October, according to the Ukrainian outlet Ukrainska Pravda.
One of the city's metro stations was damaged in the attack. The source does not say which station was hit, how extensive the damage is, or whether anyone was injured.
Ballistic missiles follow a high arcing trajectory and reach their targets at great speed, which makes them difficult to intercept. The strike is part of Russia's war against Ukraine, during which the capital has repeatedly been targeted.
The story will be updated when more detailed information about the consequences of the attack becomes available.
