Russian air attacks have targeted Ukrainian cities, including Kyiv, Dnipro, and Kharkiv, resulting in casualties and infrastructure damage. This occurs amid an ongoing conflict where Ukraine has also increased attacks on Russian oil facilities.
Russian air attacks on major Ukrainian cities such as Kyiv, Dnipro and Kharkiv killed at least nine and wounded more than 60 early on Tuesday, authorities said, following days of warnings that Moscow was planning a major assault.
Russia has targeted Ukraine’s power supply and infrastructure while Ukraine has stepped up attacks this year on Russian oil facilities in a war now more than four years old, sometimes causing casualties, but both deny targeting civilians.
Five people were killed and 25 injured in a Russian missile and drone attack on the southeastern city of Dnipro, regional governor Oleksandr Hanzha said on messaging app Telegram.
All the injured were in hospital in moderate condition, he added, posting pictures of destroyed residential buildings, burnt-out vehicles and a damaged children’s playground.
At least four were killed and 51 injured, including children, across the capital of Kyiv, Mayor Vitali Klitschko said.
A suspected missile strike on a 24-storey residential building triggered a collapse, leaving people probably trapped under the rubble, Klitschko said.
