Russia launched a major drone and missile attack on Ukraine overnight, killing three people and injuring dozens, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Saturday,
Reuters reports.
In a statement on the Telegram app, Zelenskiy said Russia launched around 580 drones and 40 missiles targeting Ukraine's infrastructure, civilian manufacturing companies, and residential areas in different regions across the country.
"All night, Ukraine was under a massive attack by Russia," Zelenskiy said. "Every such strike is not a military necessity but a deliberate strategy by Russia to terrorize civilians and destroy our infrastructure."
In the central city of Dnipro, a missile with a cluster munition hit a residential apartment building, Zelenskiy said.
One person was killed, and at least 26 people were injured in Dnipro, regional officials said.
They shared pictures on the Telegram app showing a damaged apartment building with a destroyed roof and smashed windows, people getting medical help, and rescuers working on the site.
Two people were killed in the Chernihiv region in the north and the Khmelnytskyi region in the west of the country, regional officials said.
Russia appears to have changed its tactics in its air attacks on Ukraine and now launches swarms of hundreds of drones in one strike, compared with dozens early in the war.
