Ukrainian officials said Monday that Russian forces attacked several regions with missiles and drones, including Ukraine’s capital, Kyiv.
Serhiy Popko, the head of Kyiv’s military administration, said on Telegram that Russia launched a drone along with more than 10 cruise missiles and about 10 ballistic missiles at the city.
Kyiv Mayor Vitalii Klitschko said falling debris from intercepts made by Ukrainian air defenses injured at least two people.
The Russian attack also damaged a boiler house at a water plant and the entrance to a metro station that is used as a bomb shelter.
The governors of the Dnipropetrovsk, Kherson, Mykolaiv and Poltava regions said Monday that air defenses shot down Russian drones over their regions, while the governor of Cherkasy said a missile was destroyed in the region’s skies.
The Russian attacks came a day after Ukraine carried out a massive aerial attack against Russia, with the Russian defense ministry reporting it downed 158 drones.
The ministry said Monday it shot down two Ukrainian drones, including one over the Belgorod region and another over the Black Sea.
Belgorod Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov said on Telegram that Ukrainian forces hit multiple districts, damaging a commercial facility as well as a number of homes. At least one person was injured, he said.
