Russian drones and missiles pounded Ukrainian cities including Kyiv and Dnipro early on Tuesday, killing at least 10 people and wounding about 100, authorities said, after days of warnings about Moscows plans for a major assault.
Russia has targeted Ukraines power supply and infrastructure in a war more than four years old, while Ukraine has stepped up attacks this year on Russian oil facilities. Both deny targeting civilians.
Last week, the Kremlin warned it intended systematic strikes on targets in Kyiv in response to a drone attack on a dormitory in Ukraines Russian-held region of Luhansk which killed 21. Ukraine denied the attack.
