A Russian drone attack killed a rail worker at a crossing outside Kyiv and falling drone fragments struck a building inside the capital, local authorities said on Saturday.

Kyiv region officials said the rail worker was killed in Boryspil district, east of the city. The strike triggered a fire in a storage area and shattered windows in a multi-storey apartment building and an educational institution.

Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said drone fragments fell on private residences in the Solomyanskyi district in the west of the city, triggering a fire that was quickly extinguished and smashing windows in a nearby building. There were no casualties.

Air raid alerts were in effect in Kyiv for about three hours.

In southern Zaporizhzhia region, Russian forces attacked the town of Huliaipole with a guided bomb, injuring three people, the regional governor said. One person died on Thursday in an attack on a village west of Huliaipole.

Reuters could not independently verify the accounts of military activity.

President Donald Trump on Sunday said efforts to deport people who are illegally in the United States must be expanded, including from cities such as Los Angeles, Chicago and New York, which have seen protests since immigration raids were ramped up.

"I have directed my entire Administration to put every resource possible behind this effort," Trump said in a post on his Truth Social social media site.

Trump did not elaborate on how specifically he intended to ramp up efforts.

The comments come after a week of tension in Los Angeles, where Trump called in National Guard troops and US Marines to help keep the peace, over the objections of the state's Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom.

Trump is carrying out a campaign promise to deport immigrants, employing forceful tactics consistent with the norm-breaking political style that got him elected twice.

Trump said troops were necessary to quell the protests - a contention that state and local officials dispute.

Trump's administration has directed immigration officials to largely pause raids on farms, hotels, restaurants and meatpacking plants, Reuters reported on Saturday, citing an internal email, a senior Trump official, and a person familiar with the matter.
