Kyiv's mayor said seven people including a teenage girl were wounded on Monday after Ukrainian air defence systems downed two Russian ballistic missiles over the capital, sending metal debris crashing to the ground.

AFP journalists saw emergency workers in hard helmets clearing concrete and bent metal from one building ripped open during the attack -- the third aerial bombardment of the capital in just five days.
