The Ukrainian air force repelled heavy Russian attacks on Kiev overnight, involving cruise missiles, rockets and drones, authorities in the Ukrainian capital said on Wednesday morning.
Air defence fire could be heard in the capital at night. Two air alerts were issued, lasting a total of two hours.
Falling missile fragments caused several fires outside the city, the military administration of the Kiev region said on Telegram. An unspecified industrial building went up in flames. A petrol station, garages and several private buildings were also damaged.
One person was injured.
According to the air force, four Ch-101 and Ch-555 cruise missiles and a Kinzhal hypersonic missile were fired at Kiev. They were all shot down, according to air force commander Mykola Oleshchuk.
All 24 Russian combat drones deployed over Ukraine had also been intercepted.
Ukraine has been defending itself against Russia's full-scale invasion for more than two years. Most of its cities are not as well protected against airstrikes as Kiev.
Ukraine has been urging its allies to provide better air defence systems. During his visit to Germany on Tuesday, President Volodymyr Zelensky visited Ukrainian soldiers being trained on the Patriot defence system at a military training area in the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
Germany will soon provide a third system. According to media reports, the US will also provide another Patriot defence system to Ukraine.
