The daylight attack included Kinzhal hypersonic missiles, one of the most advanced Russian weapons, the Ukrainian air force said.
The Kinzhal flies at 10 times the speed of sound, making it hard to intercept.
Smoke rose from several Kyiv areas.
There were no immediate details of casualties and damage.
Kyiv mayor Vitali Klitschko said ambulances were heading to the Solomianskyi district.
Explosions were also reported by local officials in Ukraine’s central Dnipropetrovsk region.
