Four people are reportedly killed in overnight shelling of a shopping center and residential buildings in Kyiv by Russian forces.

Ukrainian officials revise the death toll after earlier saying one person was killed in the attack, the BBC reports.

“Enemy shelling” caused a fire on several floors of the mall in the city’s northwestern Podilsky district and set several cars ablaze, emergency services say on Facebook.

Russia’s advance on Kyiv has largely stalled. Moscow’s forces engage in sporadic fighting to the northwest and east but have barely moved for two weeks.
