A wave of overnight Russian missile strikes has killed at least five people in the capital Kyiv and the surrounding region, Ukrainian authorities say.

Apartment blocks and warehouses were targeted in the evening strikes, according to the State Emergency Service of Ukraine (DSNS). At least least 23 people were injured in the strikes.

Authorities are scrambling to rescue anyone trapped underneath the rubble of demolished buildings, with crews already pulling one survivor from debris.

Meanwhile, Poland's army has announced it will launch "preventative military aviation operations" amid the Russian strikes on Ukraine.

Fires have broken out in the building of a medical facility, the DSNS added, as fires broke out in other buildings and cars.
