A 17-year-old girl was among three people killed in Russian air strikes on Wednesday in the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv, according to the city's mayor Vitali Klitschko.
He said that at least 11 Kyiv residents had also been wounded. The wider Kyiv region is also suffering from power blackouts following the Russian missile attacks, with reports of electricity-powered public transport suspended, including the metro.
Newborn baby killed in Zaporizhzhia
We’ve also been hearing about another attack on a hospital in Ukraine’s southern Zaporizhzhia region overnight, which killed a two-day-old baby. The child’s mother managed to escape the maternity ward with a doctor who was seriously injured, according to Ukrainian emergency services.
The attack happened in the town of Vilnyansk, which is close to the frontline and held by Ukraine. (However, the whole Zaporizhzhia region is claimed by Russia after a self-styled referendum there in September.)
It is the latest medical facility to have come under Russian attack during the nine-month war. In March, a strike on a maternity hospital in Mariupol left three dead, including a child. The World Health Organization says there have been more than 700 attacks targeting health infrastructure since Russia invaded Ukraine nine months ago.

Massive blackout in Moldova - government
Ukrainian towns and cities are not the only ones without power - today’s
Russian missile strike has caused blackouts across half of neighbouring
Moldova, according to the country’s deputy minister.
"Massive blackout in Moldova after today's Russian attack on Ukraine's
energy infrastructure," Andrei Spuni, who also serves as infrastructure
minister, said on Twitter.
Power was restored in the capital Chisinau by 15:35 local time
(13:35), according to a Reuters journalist.
Outages were also reported in the breakaway Russian-backed region
of Transdniestria, the local interior ministry said in a statement. Power was
later restored in Tiraspol, the capital of the region.
In a separate post on Telegram, Spuni said the situation was a
repeat of 15 November, when Moldova also suffered blackouts after Russian missile
strikes.
Moldova shares its north-eastern border with Ukraine, a fellow ex-Soviet
state, and is connected to its power grid.
Both the Moldovan police force and Premier Energy, a Moldovan
company that supplies electricity across the south and centre of the country,
asked people to remain calm and take precautionary measures.
Ukraine's energy operator warns of emergency shutdowns
Ukrainian power grid operator Ukrenerho has said that emergency shutdowns are occurring in all regions of the country as a result of the Russian missile attacks.
"The missile attack is still on, but energy infrastructure facilities have already been hit. Emergency shutdowns are happening in all regions," the company said on social networking site Telegram. It added the shutdowns started at 12:45 GMT and will continue throughout the day.
Ukrenerho also said repair crews and units of the State Emergencies Service will begin work once the air raid alert ends.
However, due to frost and freezing rain, reaching damaged facilities "might take longer" in some regions.
