Air raid sirens were reportedly sounded in almost all regions of the country.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Tymur Tkachenko, head of Kiev&#8217;s military administration, said at least seven people had been killed in the capital. A number of high-rise buildings had been hit in the attacks, he wrote.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;These are residential buildings.
