Russia launched a large-scale missile and drone attack on Ukraine Thursday, targeting Kyiv and other regions across the country.
Russia's Defense Ministry said that it carried out a "massive strike using long-range precision air, land, and sea-based weapons and attack drones."
Moscow said the strikes targeted military-industrial facilities, fuel and energy complexes in Kyiv and the Kyiv region, as well as military airfields in the Dnipropetrovsk, Poltava, Cherkasy and Chernihiv regions.
"Kyiv is under attack from ballistic missiles and UAVs," Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said on Telegram, adding that there were 10 deaths and 34 injured.
It was not immediately clear how many missiles and drones were launched at Ukraine, or how many Ukraine had managed to intercept.
Finland had temporarily imposed an "aviation restriction zone" in the eastern Gulf of the country before lifting it. Poland had also reportedly scrambled fighter jets in response to the strike, Reuters reported.
