At least six people were killed in massive Russian strikes across Ukraine overnight, with Kyiv saying 81 missiles were fired at 10 out of 27 regions of the country.
Ukraine said its air defense shot down nearly three dozen missiles fired by Russia.
“Last night, the enemy launched a massive missile attack on the critical infrastructure of Ukraine. It launched 81 missiles from different bases. Ukraine destroyed 34 cruise missiles,” the Ukraine army's commander in chief Valery Zaluzhny said in a statement on social media.
Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky slammed Russia's “miserable tactics” saying that Moscow “can only terrorize civilians.” The governor of Ukraine's western Lviv region said Thursday four people were killed in his region.
“At this moment, it is known about four dead. These are four adults. Two men and two women,” Maksym Kozytsky wrote on Telegram, adding that a missile hit their home.
