The drone attacks also killed an infant and a young woman, Klitschko said on the Telegram messaging app, while a pregnant woman was among the five injured admitted to hospital.
State emergency officials said a fire broke out on two of the four stories of a residential building in the district hit in the drone attack, with its structure partially destroyed.
Falling drone debris set off fires in a 16-storey apartment building and two more nine-storey buildings, the mayor added.
Russia was “deliberately and consciously striking civilian targets”, Timur Tkachenko, the head of the capital’s military administration, said on Telegram.
Russian strikes on Kryvyi Rih in the same region targeted transport and urban infrastructure, Oleksandr Vilkul, the head of the military administration, said on Telegram, but with no injuries reported.
Moscow did not immediately offer comment. Both sides deny targeting civilians in the strikes.
