In an overnight attack on Saturday, Russia hit Kyiv and the Zaporizhzhia region with hundreds of drones and missiles.

According to initial informaton by Kyiv mayor Vitali Klitschko five were injured and hospitalized following a “massive” assault in the Ukrainan capital. Rescuers later on Sunday morning reported that “at least three” people were killed, including a 12-year-old girl.

The governor of the southeastern Zaporizhzhia region said Russian strikes there had wounded at least four people.

“Once again, residential buildings and infrastructure are being hit. Once again, it is a war against civilians,” Andriy Yermak, the head of Ukraine’s presidential office, said, adding

There will be a response to these actions. But the West’s economic blows against Russia must also be stronger.

Poland’s military said on X that they had scrambled fighter jets in its airspace and put ground-based air defence systems on high alert in a “preventive move” in response to the Russian strikes in Ukraine.
