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.

Heavy Downpours in South Korea Kill 14 and 12 Others Missing

Torrential rains that slammed South Korea for five days have left 14 people dead and 12 others missing, the government said Sunday.

One person was killed on Sunday after their house collapsed during heavy rain and another person was found dead after being swept by a swollen stream in Gapyeong, a town northeast of Seoul, the Interior and Safety Ministry said.

The ministry said eight people were discovered dead and six others were reported missing in the southern town of Sancheong on Saturday after heavy downpours caused landslides, house collapses and flash floods there.

A ministry report said that six people remain missing in Gapyeong and the southern city of Gwangju, The Associated Press reported.

Earlier last week, three people were found dead in a submerged car, and a person was also killed when their car was buried by soil and concrete after a retaining wall of an overpass collapsed in Osan, just south of Seoul, during heavy rain.

As of 9 a.m. on Sunday, about 3,840 people remain evacuated from their homes, the ministry report said. The rain stopped in most of South Korea on Sunday, and heavy rain alerts have been subsequently lifted throughout the country, ministry officials said.

Since Wednesday, southern regions have received about 600-800 millimeters (24-31 inches) of rain, according to the ministry report.
