<p>KYIV (Reuters) -A Russian drone attack on Ukraine's capital Kyiv injured at least eight people, including a pregnant woman, and sparked fires at several high-rise apartment buildings in the city's west and east, Ukrainian officials said early on Sunday.</p>

<p>Medics were called to the leafy Darnytskyi district to the east of the Dnipro River, where a four-storey apartment building caught fire from the debris of drones destroyed in the overnight attack, Mayor Vitali Klitschko said.</p>

<p>Klitschko posted on the Telegram messaging app that the pregnant woman and two other injured people had been hospitalised.</p>

<p>Drone debris also caused fires atop a 16-storey and two nine-storey buildings in the Sviatoshynskyi district in Kyiv's west, he said.</p>

<p>Reuters witnesses heard a series of explosions shaking the city in what sounded like air defence units in operation.</p>

<p>Timur Tkachenko, the head of the military administration of the capital, said on Telegram that Russia was "deliberately and consciously striking civilian targets."</p>

<p>Moscow did not immediately issue any comment on the attacks. Both sides deny targeting civilians in the strikes, but thousands have died in the war Russia launched with a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.</p>

<p>At 0115 GMT, most of Ukraine was under air raid alerts after Ukrainian Air Force warnings of Russian missile and drone attacks.</p>

<p>Tens of explosions shook the central Ukrainian city of Kremenchuk, cutting power to parts of it, Mayor Vitalii Maletskyi said on Telegram.</p>

<p>With Ukraine's western region under the threat of air attacks, Poland activated its own and allied aircraft to ensure air safety, the operational command of the Polish armed forces said.</p>
