Videos capture damage from Russian attack on Kyiv as Ukraine claims air base strike

At least seven people have been killed in overnight Russian strikes on Ukraine’s capital, according to the Kyiv mayor Vitali Klitschko.

We've verified two locations showing damage in the city based on photos released by Ukraine's Prosecutor's office.

The Ukrainian Air Force said the attack involved cruise and Kinzhal hypersonic air-launched ballistic missiles as well as Russian Shahed drones.

Footage verified by us shows extensive damage at a supermarket distribution centre in the Sviatoshynskyi district. The company - Novus - has confirmed that four delivery drivers were killed in the strike and the site is not currently operational.

"The centre was built and opened during the full-scale invasion as a symbol of resilience, development and faith in the future... Despite the blow, there will be no shortage of goods in stores," Novus said in a post on Facebook.

We've also seen damage to a residential high-rise building located around 8km (5 miles) to the west of the Novus site where several floors appear to have been damaged.
