He added that at least one person was killed due to the fire in the district. Twenty people were evacuated, with an elderly woman hospitalized, Klitschko added.
"Massive attack! Stay indoors!" the mayor said.
Kyiv's military administration said air defense forces destroyed over 29 out of 31 drones in the attacks.
Serhiy Popko, the head of Kyiv's military administration, said the attack was conducted using Iranian-made Shahed drones alone.
Falling debris sparked fires also in the capital's southern Darnytskyi district and central Pechersky district, the mayor said.
