At least three people were injured and several fires broke out in Kyiv early on Sunday following a Russian missile attack, the mayor and military administration of the Ukrainian capital said.



All of Ukraine was under air alerts as of 0200 GMT after the country's air force warned of an attack including on regions bordering Poland, forcing the NATO-member to scramble aircraft to ensure air safety.



Fires were recorded in at least three districts of Kyiv, Mayor Vitali Klitschko said in a Telegram post. He added, medics hospitalised two civilians in the Darnytskyi district on the eastern bank of the Dnipro River that splits the city.



The scale of the attack was not immediately clear. There were also no reports of strikes or damage in western Ukrainian regions that border Poland.



The Sunday strikes on Kyiv came after officials in the southern region of Mykolaiv reported three people had been injured in Russian strikes. A day earlier, a Russian attack killed at least 19 people including nine children in the Ukrainian city of Kryvyi Rih.
