“The enemy attack on kyiv continues,” Klitschko said in a post on Telegram on Tuesday morning local time.
Residents of the Ukrainian capital were urged to seek shelter.
The missile attack continues negotiations in Switzerland over the weekend on a peace plan between Russia and Ukraine proposed by the United States.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Monday they were working for peace “as quickly as possible.” Although he warned Ukrainians that “Russia will not ease its pressure on Ukraine.”
“In these days and weeks, it is essential to take airstrike alerts and all threats of similar attacks very seriously,” he said in X. “We clearly understand who we are dealing with, and all necessary orders have been issued within the Air Force and in all other components of the Ukrainian Defense and Security Forces. We will react.”
The strikes on kyiv come a day after Russia launched more than 160 drones into the country, Ukraine’s air force said.
Air defenses shot down or suppressed 125 drones, the air force said, and 37 craft hit 15 locations. At least four people were killed in the attack in the northeastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv, the local mayor said.
