At least three people have been killed in Ukraine and several injured in Russia as the countries exchanged attacks.
Russia has launched several strikes across Ukraine, killing at least five people and wounding several, in an attack that appeared to target energy infrastructure.
Ukraine also launched a drone attack on Russia’s central region of Saratov, injuring four.
The exchange began around midnight on Sunday and continued beyond daybreak on Monday.
Ukraine’s air force reported multiple groups of Russian drones moving towards its eastern, northern, southern, and central regions, followed by numerous cruise and ballistic missiles.
Authorities in at least six Ukrainian regions said blasts had been heard. Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said more than half of Ukraine’s regions were struck.
