Residential buildings, offices, and a theological seminary were damaged in Kyiv during a Russian attack overnight Saturday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported, confirming information that 11 people were injured, including a child.

"Even before the air raid alert was announced, there were hits on civilian infrastructure. Operational services are working on-site… Mitigation of the consequences of the shelling is also underway in Odesa, Sumy, Kharkiv, and Chernihiv regions," Zelenskyy wrote on Telegram on Friday.

According to him, Russia deployed over 120 drones and 12 missiles against Ukraine overnight, half of which were ballistic.

"Our defenders managed to shoot down most of the targets, but not the ballistics. We expect our partners to fulfill their promises regarding support packages to protect our people, which were agreed upon during the NATO meeting. We need to move as quickly as possible on agreements regarding licenses for Patriots and the joint European anti-ballistic project," Zelenskyy emphasized.
