Russian drone and missile strikes killed at least two people and wounded more than a dozen in multiple regions of Ukraine, authorities said Saturday.
In Dnipropetrovsk, the regional military administration chief said two people were killed and seven more wounded in missile and drone attacks.
"Fires broke out. Apartment and private buildings, an outbuilding, a shop, and a car were damaged," Vladyslav Gaivanenko said on Telegram.
Moscow also targeted the capital Kyiv in overnight attacks, damaging buildings and homes in multiple districts and wounding at least eight people.
"Explosions in the capital. The city is under a ballistic attack," Kyiv mayor Vitali Klitschko said on Telegram.
"There are currently 8 wounded people in the capital," he said in a separate post, adding three of them had been hospitalized.
He said "large fires" were burning in non-residential buildings in the Desnyansky and Darnytsky districts.
Tymur Tkachenko, the head of the city's military administration, said damage had occurred in Dniprovsky district as well. He reported an unspecified number of wounded.
The attack comes as Kyiv's Western allies ratchet up pressure on Russia as the war enters its fourth winter.
Both the United States and European Union announced new sanctions this week on Russian energy aimed at crippling its war economy.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
