Russia hit the Ukrainian capital with a ballistic missile and dropped a powerful "glide" bomb on a city east of Kharkiv, further undermining efforts to cement a cease-fire between Moscow and Kyiv.
The newsroom for Freedom TV was badly damaged in the April 6 attack -- the second time the state-funded broadcaster has been targeted by Russian strikes.
Kyiv officials said one person was killed and at least three people wounded when the missile hit an industrial district, sparking fires and damaging a warehouse and other buildings.
The casualties appeared to be minimal since the districts are home mainly to industrial businesses and storage warehouses.

Russian Missile Strike Hits Kyiv Industrial District
In a statement, Freedom TV, which was established prior to Russia's all-out invasion in February 2022, said its editorial offices were badly damaged but no employees were injured. It's the second time since February that the offices were hit.
In Kupyansk, a city east of Kharkiv, Russian forces dropped a glide bomb on a residential district, causing widespread damage and wounding two people.
Fires blaze after Russia struck the eastern city of Kupyansk, Ukraine, on April 6.
Much of the city, which is close to the front lines, has been evacuated as Russian forces are crept closer from the north.
Glide bombs are heavy munitions that are retrofitted with guidance systems and dropped from aircraft behind the front lines. The weapons are hard to defend against, and Russian forces have used them to devastating effect against Ukrainian defenses across the front lines.
Overall, Russia fired nearly two dozens missiles at Ukrainian targets and more than 100 drones, authorities said. Half the missiles and nearly half the drones were shot down, officials claimed.
Ukraine, for its part, fired at 11 drones at Russian targets, Russia's Defense Ministry said.
In February, the Kremlin and the White House, as well as Ukrainian authorities, announced the framework for a limited cease-fire that would restrict attacks on energy infrastructure such as power plants, transmission lines, and substations. Moscow and Washington also announced a deal to limit military activity in the Black Sea region.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Russia had launched more than 1,460 guided aerial bombs, nearly 670 attack drones, and more than various 30 missiles over the past week.
On April 4, a Russian missile that Ukrainian officials said was armed with a cluster munition hit a district in the city of Kryviy Rih, southeast of Kyiv, killing 20 people. A children's playground was struck as well, killing at least nine children. Dozens of people were injured.
Moscow claimed the strike had targeted a Ukrainian military gathering.
Ukrainian authorities declared a day of mourning on April 6 for those killed in the attack.

"We must put pressure on Russia, which chooses to kill children instead of a cease-fire," Zelenskyy said in his nightly video address. "We must introduce additional sanctions against those who cannot exist without ballistic strikes on neighboring people."
Zelenskyy also criticized a statement by the US ambassador, Bridget Brink, who said she was horrified by the strike but did not call out Russia by name.
"Unfortunately, the response from the US Embassy is surprisingly disappointing -- such a strong country, such a strong people, and yet such a weak reaction," he wrote in a post to Telegram.
There was no immediate reaction from the US Embassy to Zelenskyy's criticism.
