Russia's defense ministry said Saturday it launched cruise missile strikes overnight against targets in Ukraine, reported Cable News Network (CNN).

Although Russia claimed it exclusively targeted military infrastructure, as videos emerged of a residential high-rise near Kyiv that was struck by a missile or rocket fire, said CNN.

CNN and other international news outlets have seen and documented damage to civilian infrastructure around Ukraine since the beginning of the Russian invasion.

Images on Saturday morning showed severe damage to the outside of an apartment building in western Kyiv, with the outer walls blown out entirely for several apartment units, the report added.

Emergency workers are on the scene, helping to evacuate residents. The extent of casualties is not yet clear.
