Kyiv: Russia pounded Ukraine on Sunday with a massive attack that killed 11 civilians across several regions and damaaged the country's already fragile energy grid, as the world prepared to mark 1,000 days since Moscow's invasion.

Nationwide emergency power restrictions would be implemented on Monday ahead of a much-feared winter, the state grid operator announced.

President Volodymyr Zelensky said Moscow launched 120 missiles and almost 100 drones, targeting Kyiv as well as southern, central and far-western corners of the country.

The attack, which officials said was one of Russia's largest, came as Moscow's assault neared its 1,000th day, which will be marked at the United Nations on Monday.

Civilians were killed in the Mykolaiv, Lviv, Kherson, Dnipropetrovsk and Odesa regions.
