Russia has reportedly hit Ukraine with a wave of drones attacks on the capital, Kyiv.
The strikes hit critical infrastructure in three regions, cutting off electricity in hundreds of villages across the country, according to Prime Minister Denys Shmygal, reports BBC.
Several people have been killed, says the Ukrainian interior minister.
A week ago, the capital was hit by Russian missiles at rush hour, part of nationwide attacks which left 19 dead.
Mr Shmygal said the Russian strikes had hit regions of Kyiv, Dnipro and Sumy with strikes.
Russia said it had hit “all designated targets” in the latest attacks, confirming that Ukraine’s “military command facilities and energy system” had been targets.
Four people were killed after an energy-generating facility was hit in the north-eastern Sumy region, according to Ukraine’s Deputy Interior Minister, Yevhan Yenin.
