        Russia launched widespread air strikes on Ukraine overnight, targeting Kyiv and the western region of Lviv, injuring at least 17 people, including a rescue worker in the city of Kryvyi Rih in the eastern part of the country, officials said.
        
        About 10 drones were destroyed near Kyiv, the city's military administration said on the Telegram messaging app. There were no reports of destruction or injuries, it said.
