The attack took place on the third day of a planned prisoner swap between Russia and Ukraine - an outcome of last week's peace talks in Istanbul.

Footage showed emergency responders trying to extinguish fires as smoke billowed from cars and houses.

At least four people were killed in Kyiv with another 26 wounded -including at least three children.

In Zhytomyr region, west of Kyiv, three children were killed, aged 8, 12 and 17, according to the emergency service.

Polish military high command said it had deployed "all available forces and resources” on Nato's eastern flank.

It added: “On-duty fighter pairs have been scrambled, and the ground-based air defence and radar reconnaissance systems have reached the highest state of readiness.

“The steps taken are aimed at ensuring security in the areas bordering the threatened areas.”

The attacks over the past 48 hours were among the most intense Russian aerial strikes on Ukraine since the February 2022 full-scale invasion.
