Russian missiles and drones are pounding Ukraine for a second day, as almost continuous heavy attacks hit the country, with Kyiv bearing the brunt of an assault that has killed at least three and injured 40 in the capital.
The overnight attacks followed heavy daylight raids with missiles and drones across the country on Wednesday.
The assault began at 3am on Thursday with hundreds of drones and dozens of missiles fired by Moscow as the sound of explosions echoed through Kyiv. Water supplies were disrupted in the east of the city.
