Earlier the regional military administration reported about four dead and at least seven wounded in an overnight Russian drone attack.
"A civilian site was damaged as a result of the overnight drone attack in the Kyiv region," which caused a fire, the regional military administration said on Telegram.
"Debris clearance and search and rescue operations are ongoing," the State Emergency Service added.
Ukraine’s military said 16 out of a total of 21 drones had been shot down during the attack.
"Over 20 Iranian murderous drones, plus missiles, numerous shelling... and that's just in one night of Russian terror against Ukraine," President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Twitter.
Air raid sirens sounded across northern Ukraine just after midnight with the alert lasting more than four hours.
President Zelensky reacted angrily on social media, highlighting the gaping chasm between talk of “peace” in Moscow between Putin and Xi, and the reality on the ground in Ukraine.
