Oct 14 (Reuters) - ⁠Russian air strikes killed ⁠one person and injured one ‌more in Kyiv while also hitting energy facilities in the Ukrainian ​capital, Mayor Vitali Klitschko ⁠said on ⁠Wednesday.

The ballistic missile attack was ongoing ⁠during ‌the morning hours.

The fresh strikes follow ⁠earlier Russian attacks on the energy ​infrastructure ‌in Ukraine as temperatures start ⁠to ​cool down with the heating season on the horizon.

Reuters ⁠witnesses heard multiple explosions ​in Kyiv as air defences repelled overnight attacks.

In the Volga ⁠River town of Balakovo in Russia, which invaded Ukraine in 2022, drones killed one ​person and damaged ⁠houses, a regional governor said ​on Telegram.
