One person has been killed and six injured after the falling wreckage of a shot down Russian missile struck a residential street in Kyiv, Ukrainian authorities say.

The missile's debris destroyed a bus and set ablaze a residential building in the capital's Kurenivka district after being intercepted by Ukraine's air defences, Ukraine's State Emergency Service says.

It adds the bus was not carrying any passengers but was completely destroyed.

Photos shared by Anton Gerashchenko, an adviser to Ukraine's interior ministry, show the bus' twisted remains strewn across the street as smoke rises from the damaged building. What appear to be the trails of anti-aircraft missiles are seen in the sky above.
