Russia and Ukraine continued to exchange deadly strikes over the weekend, with both sides intensifying attacks targeting major cities, energy facilities and warehouses.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, at least nine people were killed and dozens injured in Russian ballistic missile strikes on Kyiv, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.<\/p>\n

Fires broke out across the city and power cuts were reported in some areas, with Kyiv’s Mayor Vitali Klitschko reporting that a residential building in Shevchenkivskyi was partially destroyed, trapping people inside.<\/p>\n

Separately, Ukrainian drones sank a Russian-owned container ship in the Black Sea on Saturday. Moscow said all 17 crew were rescued.<\/p>\n

Strikes continued into Sunday as Ukraine said it had carried out overnight attacks on a major oil refinery and an airfield that houses Russian strategic aviation in the Saratov region, some 600km (373miles) from Ukraine’s border.<\/p>\n

Russia said eight people were killed in the Ukrainian strikes, and 635 drones were shot down or intercepted. It also reported another strike on a warehouse of Russia’s biggest online retailer Wildberries.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Moscow said on Sunday its forces had attacked overnight two Ukrainian ports and two vessels in the Black Sea.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Russia and Ukraine exchange deadly strikes as attacks intensifypublished at 09:48 BST 09:48 BST Image source, Zelenskiy \/…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":581495,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[42,43,40,38,41,39],"class_list":["post-581494","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/581494","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=581494"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/581494\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/581495"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=581494"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=581494"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=581494"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
