Russian strikes on Ukraine in the past day have killed seven people and injured more than 67. In a post on X, Ukraine president Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that a number of regions had been hit, including Odesa, Sumy, Zaporizhzhia, Kharkiv, Kherson, Donetsk, and Dnipro.
Zelenskyy said Russia had sent more than 130 attack drones and eight missiles into Ukraine overnight and into Friday morning.
Ukraine's state electricity grid, Ukrenergy, said the strikes had caused power outages in Odesa, Zaporizhzhia, Dnipropetrovsk, Kharkiv, and Sumy regions.
The Ukrainian Air Force reported that the country's air defence systems were able to intercept five missiles and 115 unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) that had been launched by Russia into the north, south, and east of the country.
