The strikes represent a major escalation in the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, with attacks reported across several regions and Kyiv residents taking shelter underground. Russia said it targeted facilities linked to Ukraine’s military, while Ukrainian officials blamed Moscow for the assault and warned of further large-scale attacks. The reported casualties and damage remain subject to verification as emergency crews assess affected areas.
