The attacks were the latest in a series of large-scale Russian strikes on Ukrainian cities that Russia has intensified over the summer, now occurring on a nearly weekly basis.
Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky said Kyiv and the surrounding region, along with the Dnipro, Lviv, Poltava, Kharkiv, Mykolaiv, Sumy, Vinnytsia, Cherkasy and Ivano-Frankivsk regions, were attacked overnight, with dozens of homes, businesses and infrastructure facilities destroyed or damaged.
He said Russia used more than 70 missiles in the strike, a significant number of them ballistic, along with more than 280 attack drones, of which more than 260 were intercepted.
