At least nine people have been killed and several injured in an overnight Russian missile and drone attack in the Kyiv region.
The interior minister, Ihor Klymenk, in a post on social media said residential areas, hospitals and sports infrastructure had been hit.
At least six of those killed were in a high-rise building in the capital, Kyiv’s mayor Vitali Klitschko said.
The city’s military administration said a further 33 people had been injured.
In the latest barrage, 352 Russian drones and 16 missiles targeted Ukrainian territory, mostly in the Kyiv area, the Ukrainian air force said.
President Volodymyr Zelensky is travelling to London on Monday for talks with PM Keir Starmer on UK military support for Ukraine.
One Kyiv resident, Valeriy Mankuta, 33, told Reuters news agency he “woke up in the rubble” after his building was hit by what authorities said was a missile.
He escaped his apartment by climbing out of the window. “There were bricks on me, there was something in my mouth. It was total hell.”
Russia has intensified its air attacks against Ukrainian cities in recent weeks, sending large waves of missiles, drones and decoys designed to overwhelm Ukrainian air defences.
Many thousands of Kyiv residents were forced into the shelters in the early hours of Monday morning as drones flew overhead and explosions shook the city.
Ukraine’s emergencies service shared footage showing shocked residents being led away from a destroyed high-rise building that was still burning.
