Massive Russian attack on cities across Ukraine kills at least ten people

Russian strikes have left at least ten people dead across Ukraine, six in Dnipro and four in Kyiv, marking one of Moscow's largest assaults in recent months.



Dozens were also injured, including several children, after overnight airstrikes hit apartment buildings, with emergency crews racing to find people feared trapped under rubble in Kyiv.



Air raid warnings were in place across most of Ukraine in the early hours of Tuesday morning.



Moscow last week warned it would launch "systematic strikes" on Ukraine in response to a drone attack last month on a dormitory in Ukraine's Russian-held Luhansk region which killed 21 people.



Klitschko has urged people to stay in shelters. The head of Kyiv's City Military Administration, Tymur Tkachenko, said: "The enemy is striking with ballistic missiles."



Large plumes of smoke could be seen rising from the centre of Kyiv. Mayor Vitali Klitschko said there are fears people are trapped under the rubble of damaged apartments.



In Russia, the Krasnodar Krai emergency response centre reported a fire at the Ilsky Oil Refinery following a drone attack. There were no casualties, according to the emergency service.
