At least 11 people have been killed in Kyiv following a second night of Russian strikes on the Ukrainian capital in a week, the city's top military administrator has said, reports BBC.

Some 46 people have been injured, including five children. Three more people were killed in the wider Kyiv region, emergency officials said.

Rescue efforts are continuing at more than 20 locations, Tkachenko posted on Telegram, adding that residential high-rise buildings were hit in two districts.

The strikes come on the eve of the Nato summit in Turkey, where Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is expected to hold talks with President Trump.

Hours before the latest strikes, Zelensky had warned that Moscow was preparing a second "massive strike" on Kyiv following its attacks on Thursday that killed 30 people.

It was another frightening night for people in the capital, with loud explosions and the boom of Ukraine's air defences in action. Once again, many residents sought shelter underground.

Russian ballistic missiles hit several buildings across the city, Mayor Vitaly Klitschko said, adding that fires had broken out in some apartment complexes.

Warehouses and a garage workshop were also damaged, according to the mayor.

Widespread destruction was visible on Monday morning. Three large blocks of flats in the city have partially collapsed, some were hit directly by missiles.

Rescuers have been trying to reach people trapped inside the ruins.

Helicopters have been shuttling back and forth in the sky, carrying water from the river to douse fires in the city.

Hours ahead of the strikes Zelensky said that intelligence had indicated that Kyiv would come under a second wave of Russian attacks in a week.

After a barrage of drone and missile strikes on Thursday night, tens of thousands of residents evacuated to metro stations around the city as alarms blared in the early hours of Friday morning.

Ukraine accused Moscow of deliberately attacking civilian areas in that attack, which left at least 30 people dead. Russia said it had targeted military and energy bases in retaliation for recent Ukrainian strikes on power stations and energy facilities in Russian territory.

Such attacks continued overnight, with power being cut off temporarily in the city of Sevastopol in Russian-occupied Crimea.

Ukraine has been escalating its strikes on targets in the peninsula in an attempt to pressure the Kremlin into peace talks.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
