Fires broke out in warehouses and a non-residential building; one person killed and two injured.
Sirens sounded across central, eastern, and southern Ukraine amid the missile threat.
Nine people injured in an earlier attack on a production facility, with several cars destroyed.
The strike follows two previous Russian missile attacks on the capital within seven days.
Russia targeted Kyiv with ballistic missiles in the early hours of 8 July, marking the third such attack on the Ukrainian capital within a week. Mayor Vitali Klitschko reported that strikes hit the left-bank Desnianskyi district, igniting warehouses, and the Sviatoshynskyi district, where a non-residential building caught fire. Emergency services were deployed to the scenes, and some districts experienced power and water outages.
“The enemy is attacking the capital with ballistic missiles. Stay in shelters!”
The Polish Press Agency reported one fatality in Kyiv, while local authorities cited by TVN24 said two people were injured, one requiring hospitalisation. Fires damaged an administrative building, a car workshop, and several trams. The State Emergency Service of Ukraine confirmed ongoing firefighting operations at the affected sites.
Air raid sirens sounded in at least 11 oblasts overnight, including Vinnytsia, Dnipropetrovsk, Zhytomyr, Kyiv, Kirovohrad, Odesa, Poltava, Sumy, Kharkiv, Cherkasy, and Chernihiv. The widespread alerts underscored the broad geographic threat of the missile barrage.
Hours earlier, on the evening of 7 July, a Russian ballistic missile carrying a cluster warhead struck Odesa. The attack injured nine people and sparked a fire at a production facility, destroying several cars, according to Oleh Kiper, head of the Odesa regional military administration.
