Russia on Saturday hit the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv and the southern port city of Odesa with fresh attacks.
A combination of ballistic and cruise missiles along with drones injured 11 people in Kyiv, Ukrainian authorities said. A Russian missile attack later in the morning in Odesa killed two people and injured one other.
A separate Russian attack in the eastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv left seven people wounded.
In a post on X, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, said civilian infrastructure in Kyiv "was hit even before the air raid alert was issued."
"Emergency crews are working at the sites of the strikes — apartment buildings, offices, and a theological seminary were damaged in the capital," Zelenskyy said. "Recovery efforts are also ongoing in the Odesa, Sumy, Kharkiv, and Chernihiv regions."
