At least nine people were killed in Russian ballistic missile strikes on Ukraine, local officials said early on Saturday.
At least another 23 were injured in the attack on the capital Kyiv, according to Ukraine’s State Emergency Service.
Moscow has escalated deadly ballistic missile attacks on Ukraine’s capital recently, prompting President Volodymyr Zelensky to say interceptors are urgently needed.
The strikes came two days after a suspected Russian cruise missile landed in Poland during a widespread attack on Ukraine that killed at least eight people, including six members of one family in a village near Kryvyih Rih.
Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said the capital had come under a ballistic missile attack, with AFP reporting more than 10 explosions.
Fires broke out across the city and power outages were reported in some areas.
Klitschko said a residential building in Shevchenkivskyi was partially destroyed, trapping people inside.
The emergency services said at least seven people were killed in a strike in Darnytskyi district. Another 14 were injured, including two children, it reported.
