Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said a regional airport in Ukraine has been completely destroyed.
The Vinnytsia regional airport was said to be targeted by Russian missiles as the invasion approaches its 11th day.
President Zelensky is now pleading with NATO to close the airspace and make a no-fly zone over Ukraine.
He said in a video update that eight missiles were launched against "our peaceful Vinnytsia, a town that never threatened Russia in any way".
He described the incident as "brutal and cynical" and has left the airport "completely destroyed" as Russian attacks "continue to destroy our infrastructure - our lives".
In a plea to NATO, he added: "You need to close the airspace, you need to make a no-fly zone for Russia, for all these terrorists.
"Provide a humanitarian no-fly zone. This is your humanitarian obligation to protect us, to protect people.

"And you can do it. If you don't do it, if you don't provide us with at least the planes with which we can defend ourselves, then we can come to the only possible conclusion. You want us to be killed, slowly."
It comes shortly after Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that he would consider an enforced no-fly zone by Western nations as a declaration of war and admittance to intervening in the conflict.
He said yesterday (March 5) that Moscow would consider "any move in this direction" as an intervention that "will pose a threat to our service members".
He added: "That very second, we will view them as participants of the military conflict, and it would not matter what members they are".
So far, NATO has rejected the request for a no-fly zone which would bar all unauthorized aircraft from flying over Europe as the fear it would provoke a wider war in Europe.
