At least five people have been killed and more than 10 injured in Ukraine in the latest wave of Russian strikes, officials have said.
Emergency services are working at sites hit in the capital, Kyiv, including a book market, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said, accusing Russia of targeting civilian infrastructure.
Meanwhile, Moscow’s mayor said about 600 Ukrainian drones were launched towards the city overnight. A warehouse belonging to Russian online retailer Wildberries was hit.
Russia has intensified aerial attacks across Ukraine in recent weeks, while Kyiv has stepped up its targeting of Russian logistics hubs, with the aim of disrupting military supplies.
Air-raid sirens have sounded four times since Saturday night in Kyiv. At least six people, including a child, were reportedly injured, Mayor Vitali Klitschko said.
The mayor of Kryvyi Rih said a 44-year-old man earlier reported missing had been found dead in rubble. Another person was killed and 14 workers of a steel plant were wounded there.
Two people in their 60s were killed when a house was destroyed in Zaporizhzhia, while a person was also killed in Sumy, according to the Ukrainian president.
Zelensky said the cities of Kremenchuk and Kryvyi Rih were hit by ballistic missiles, adding: “Wherever the Russians can reach with their ballistic missiles, they strike civilian infrastructure.”
Russia said its attacks on Kyiv on Saturday night targeted a FirePoint facility producing parts for Ukrainian Flamingo missiles and a factory making components for drones.
A book market in the city’s Pochayna district was damaged in the strikes. Burnt books could be seen lying on the ground, while firefighters continue to douse the flames.
Sixty-nine-year-old Valentina’s husband owned a market stall.
Looking through the rubble, she told the BBC: “All these books in the street were from my husband’s stall in the market – I recognise them on the floor.”
She added: “You never think that it will happen to you.”
