      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Russia unleashed missile and drone attacks on the Ukrainian capital Kyiv and other cities overnight, killing 13 people, ​including a 12-year-old child, injuring several dozens and badly damaging buildings, officials ‌said on Thursday.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In Kyiv, Mayor Vitali Klitschko said four people, including the child, had died.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Seven people were killed in Odesa and in the southeastern city of Dnipro, where Russian attacks set ​residential buildings ablaze, the regional governor said two people were killed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Klitschko said ​45 city residents were injured.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The city came under another attack ⁠early on Thursday, he said, adding that a drone, flying very ​low, slammed into an 18-storey building.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ukraine’s emergency services put the death toll in ​Kyiv at five.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Photos posted online showed fires burning out of control and smoke billowing skyward.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Klitschko said rescue teams had rescued a mother and child from a building in a ​central district where the ground floor was badly damaged.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He also said ​missile debris had hit the sixth floor of an apartment building in the central Podil district.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Klitschko ‌said ⁠a large fire had broken out in a building in a district in the north of the capital, and four emergency medical workers were injured, while debris had fallen in several locations.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Seven people were killed, ​and 11 injured ​in missile and ⁠drone attacks in the southern city of Odesa, the head of the local military administration said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Last night, the city came ​under several waves of missile and drone attacks,” Serhiy ​Lysak wrote ⁠on Telegram, reporting damage to infrastructure facilities and a residential building.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In Dnipro, Regional Governor Oleksandr Ganzha said that two people were killed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;listed 27 people as injured and ⁠posted ​pictures showing residential buildings ablaze.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In Kharkiv, Ukraine’s ​second-largest city in the northeast, officials said two people had been injured in drone strikes.&lt;/p&gt;
