Five killed in large Russian missile and drone attack, Zelensky says
Five people have died and tens of thousands have been left without power in Ukraine after intense Russian missile and drone attacks overnight, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said.
Four members of one family, including a 15-year-old girl, were killed by a strike in the village of Lapaivka as attacks focused on the nearby western city of Lviv.
Ukraine's neighbour Poland scrambled fighter jets in order to ensure the safety of Polish airspace, the Polish military confirmed. Allied Nato aircraft were also deployed.
Russia's defence ministry said it had successfully carried out a "massive" strike on Ukrainian military and infrastructure targets.
One person also died in Zaporizhzhia. Zelensky said Russia fired more than 50 missiles and around 500 attack drones.
Another family member was injured, as were two neighbours, in the strike that killed their relatives in Lapaivka.
Lviv endured several hours of strikes, leading to the suspension of public transport services and the cutting of electrical supplies.
The Ivano-Frankivsk, Chernihiv, Sumy, Kharkiv, Kherson, Odesa, and Kirovohrad regions were also targeted as well as Lviv and Zaporizhzhia, according to Zelensky.
