Russian strikes on Kyiv overnight from Monday into Tuesday killed one person and wounded eight, mayor Vitali Klitschko said. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said ballistic missiles hit a university campus area and other crowded zones with no military facilities nearby.

Klitschko reported damage to medical facilities, including an intensive care unit, and a dormitory. He later said the Southern (Pivdennyi) Bridge over the Dnipro and metro infrastructure on the bridge were hit, with train services across that span suspended.

The capital attacks came hours before a local truce took effect in the Russian-occupied city of Oleshky in the Kherson region. The pause, meant to allow humanitarian aid and possible evacuations, began at 3 a.m. local time. No end date for the ceasefire has been published.

Oleshky has been caught in the fighting for years; agencies and the UN have described acute shortages of food, water and medicine for remaining residents. Russia said its forces would halt fire on the Kherson axis for the “silence regime”. Ukraine has accused Moscow of blocking civilians from leaving — a charge the Russian side denies.

The Oleshky arrangement is a sectoral, local pause, not a deal that ends the war. Diplomatic and wire reports have linked it to a humanitarian mission planned for the coming days; public briefings still lack full detail on who will monitor the ground operation.

Before the latest Kyiv strikes, Zelenskyy said Ukraine was still waiting for the U.S. defence secretary to clear missile supplies for Patriot and NASAMS systems. The Guardian briefing marked the conflict’s 1,707th day.

Casualty and damage figures in the capital may be revised as city officials finish assessments. The account above follows Ukrainian officials’ statements and agency reporting available on Tuesday morning.
