• Authorities reported 13 deaths in that building, including four children, as rescue teams evacuated wounded residents from the site.
• Kyiv officials later put the citywide toll at at least 21 dead and 48 injured after overnight missile and drone attacks that damaged nearly 100 structures, including a shopping mall.
