Russia struck Kyiv with ballistic missiles overnight into September 24, killing two people and injuring six, four of them hospitalized, Mayor Vitali Klitschko said. The city military administration said one of the dead was a 65-year-old man. A maternity hospital in the Podilskyi district had windows and part of its facade damaged; Klitschko said preliminarily no one inside was hurt, and one person was killed in the adjacent car park. Damage was also reported in the Dniprovskyi, Sviatoshynskyi, Solomianskyi and Darnytskyi districts. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the strike came as he was discussing tougher sanctions against Russia with U.S. members of Congress.
