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.
