Ammon News - Russia hammered Ukraine with missiles and drones overnight, killing at least ​four people and causing damage across five regions ‌of the country, officials said on Saturday.

The main target was energy infrastructure in the Kyiv region, said President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, adding ​that residential buildings, schools, and businesses were also ​damaged.

He said the Sumy, Kharkiv, Dnipro and Mykolaiv ⁠regions were also targeted in an attack that included ​around 430 drones and 68 missiles, most of which were ​downed by air defences.

"Russia will try to exploit the war in the Middle East to cause even greater destruction here in ​Europe, in Ukraine," Zelenskiy wrote on X, asking Kyiv's ​allies to boost production of critical air-defence weapons.

The four fatalities occurred in ‌the ⁠Kyiv region, where 15 people were also wounded and damages recorded in four districts, according to regional military administration chief Mykola Kalashnyk.
