Russian missiles and drones struck several Ukrainian regions on Saturday. According to Ukrainian authorities, people were killed and injured and energy infrastructure was damaged.
The heaviest reports came from Kyiv and the surrounding region. Mayor Vitali Klitsjko said the Northern Bridge over the Dnipro was among the sites hit. One person was killed and eight people were injured, including a child, according to Ukrainian authorities.
Dnipropetrovsk was also attacked again. Regional authorities said Russian forces had carried out more than ten attacks on two districts since the morning. At least one person was injured. The reports could not be independently verified at all locations.
According to Ukrainian sources, the attacks damaged energy facilities, homes and other infrastructure. Power cuts occurred in several regions, Ukrainian sources said.
Russia said it had attacked military, industrial, energy and transport targets. Moscow provided no independent substantiation for that description. Ukraine says civilian infrastructure was also hit.
The attacks took place as Ukraine prepares for new talks with Russia and the United States. The latest shelling increases pressure on Ukraine’s air defences and energy supply at the start of the winter season. The extent of any lasting damage has yet to be established.
