Several regions of Ukraine were bombarded with a fresh wave of Russian missile strikes this morning, the latest in a series targeting national infrastructure.
Air raid sirens rang out across the country. In Kyiv, the regional administration said that air defence systems have been activated to fend off the continuing missile attack.
Sounds of explosions were heard in the city.
Ukrainian authorities in several regions said that some Russian missiles have been downed.
The attack is the latest in a series of Russian strikes targeting vital infrastructure across Ukraine.
Moscow has launched such attacks on a weekly basis since October.
In Dnipro, Odesa and Kryvyi Rih regions, the authorities said that they switched off electricity to minimise the damage to critical infrastructure facilities if they are hit.
Adviser to President Volodymyr Zelensky, Mykhailo Podolyak, said more than 120 missiles had struck civilian infrastructure and population targets.
In the capital, Kyiv, at least two explosions were heard but it's unclear if the blasts were caused by missile strikes or Ukraine's own air defence systems.
Mayor Vitaliy Klitschko said there had been "several explosions" and two homes damaged by debris from an intercepted missile.
Blasts were also heard in Kharkiv, Odesa, Lviv and Zhytomyr.
Odesa chief Maksym Marchenko spoke of a "massive missile attack".
The Air Force said attacks were being launched from "various directions", including "air and sea-based cruise missiles". A number of Kamikaze drones were also used, said Marchenko.
Ukrainians woke up to the sound of air sirens this morning, with another presidential adviser, Oleksiy Arestovych urging civillians to seek shelter.
He added that the country's air defences were in operation to knock the missiles out of the sky.
Podolyak said Moscow is seeking "to destroy critical infrastructure and kill civilians en masse".
It comes after it emerged that hundreds of civillians fled the key city of Kherson just weeks after Kyiv's troops drove the invading forces out.
Kremlin troops have increased shelling of the community tenfold since its liberation.
In just one day, Vladimir Putin's boys slammed 80 shells at targets across the city.
Shortly after it was freed Russia was hitting Kherson with around 10 missiles in one day but have boosted missile attacks after fleeing.
