Editor's Note: This is a developing story and is being updated. At least one person was killed and eight others injured after multiple waves of Russian missiles struck Kyiv overnight on Oct. 19. Several explosions rocked the capital just before 11 p.m., with further attacks around 3 a.m. and 7 a.m., Kyiv Independent journalists on the ground reported. Ukraine's State Emergency Service (DSNS) said damage was reported in at least three districts. One person was killed in the Desnianskyi District where a non-residential building caught fire and a metro station was damaged, DSNS said. Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko earlier reported a fatality was that of 21-year-old woman. The above-ground Chernihivska and Lisova metro stations were temporarily closed for repairs, city officials said. Five people were injured in the Solomianskyi District when a 25-story residential building was damaged, Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko reported. It is not yet clear where the other injuries occurred. Photos of the damaged Cosmo Multimall shopping and entertainment center in the Solomianskyi District emerged on social media following the attack.
