One person has died and dozens have been injured in overnight Russian strikes on Ukraine’s southern Zaporizhzhia region.
Three children, two boys aged nine and 10 and a girl aged 16, are among the injured, regional governor Ivan Fedorov says.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says the strikes hit residential buildings in the region, causing “many fires”.
“Now that Russia is once again showing that it doesn’t give a damn about words, we are counting on real action,” he says in a statement on Telegram.
Explosions have also been heard in the central eastern regions of Dnipro and Pavlohrad.
The latest attacks on Ukraine come just days after Russia launched its deadliest onslaught on Kyiv since July. At least 23 people were killed and many more injured in strikes on the Ukrainian capital on Thursday.
