Ukraine said Sunday that Russia pounded the country with “hundreds” of drones and missiles overnight, wounding at least ten people.
The attacks came after Russia warned NATO against taking sterner action in response to alleged incursions into airspace covered by the military alliance.
They also followed the revelation by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that Kyiv had received a US-made Patriot air defence system from Israel for use against Russian assaults.
According to a post on X by Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiga, Russia launched another massive air attack on Ukrainian cities while people were sleeping.
He posted footage of flames bursting from the windows of a multi-storey apartment block, which Sybiga said was as a result of the attack.
Kyiv mayor Vitali Klitschko said on Telegram that the Ukrainian capital was under a massive assault and urged people to stay in shelters.
He said at least six people had been wounded as a result of the country’s enemy’s attack, five of whom were treated in hospital and one at the scene.
