Russia launched missile strikes on Kyiv while Antonio Guterres, the UN Secretary General, was visiting the city.

Two explosions were heard as the official was visiting in the first bombardment of the capital since mid-April, the president's office said.

"Missile strikes in the downtown of Kyiv during the official visit of @antonioguterres," tweeted the office of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

The Ukrainian Defence minister, Oleksii Reznikov, condemned the strikes.

He said: "While the UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres is visiting Kyiv, a permanent member of the UN Security Council - Russia - is launching missile strikes on the city. This is an attack on the security of the Secretary General and on world security!".
