At least one person was injured in Russian overnight air attacks that also started a fire in a critical infrastructure building in the southern city of Mykolaiv and damaged several houses in the Kyiv region, Ukrainian officials said on Sunday.



The fire in the Mykolaiv building was quickly extinguished, Vitaliy Kim, governor of the broader Mykolaiv region said on the Telegram messaging app. It was not clear what infrastructure was hit.



Five apartment buildings and several shop and office spaces were damaged as a result of falling drone debris, Kim added.



In the Kyiv region, several houses were damaged in a Russian air attack, the State Emergency Service of Ukraine said on Telegram. There were no injuries, they added.



The full scale of the overnight attack on Ukraine was not clear. There was no immediate comment from Russia.



Both sides deny targeting civilians in the war that Russia started with its full-scale invasion in Ukraine nearly three years ago.
