Ukrainian officials said on Saturday that Russian overnight strikes in the Dnipropetrovsk region had killed one person and wounded 13, as several regions reported major attacks.
Sergiy Lysak, the head of the regional military administration, said Russian forces had struck with drones and missiles, damaging residential buildings and sparking fires.
The strikes killed one person and wounded 13, with one man in a serious condition, Lysak said on the Telegram platform.
Ukraine issued a nationwide air alert, with officials reporting other strikes in the region around the capital Kyiv.
“The enemy is attacking with strike drones and missiles. Peaceful settlements of the region are under attack,” Mykola Kalashnyk, the head of the Kyiv regional military administration, said.
The mayor of Mykolaiv said that Russia had also hit the southern Ukrainian city with drones and missiles but that there were “no casualties”.
Russian officials said their forces had repelled “massive” Ukrainian attacks in the Volgograd and Rostov regions, while one person was wounded in the nearby region of Saratov.
Russian forces have been grinding across eastern Ukraine for months, trying to take control of the Donetsk and Lugansk regions.
Hopes of a truce have faded since US President Donald Trump held separate high-profile meetings with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin and Ukraine’s Volodomyr Zelensky last month.
On Friday, Estonia said three Russian air force planes violated its airspace, triggering fears in the EU and NATO of a dangerous new provocation from Moscow, which denied the allegation.
