At least eight people have been killed and more than 30 injured across Ukraine in overnight Russian drone and missile attacks, regional officials have said.<\/p>\n

Four deaths were reported in Ukraine’s western Khmelnytskyi region. Three more deaths were reported in the Kyiv region, and one in the southern city of Mykolaiv.<\/p>\n

It comes a day after Kyiv suffered one of the heaviest assaults since the start of the Russian invasion. <\/a><\/p>\n

Russia’s defence ministry said its air defence units shot down or intercepted 95 Ukrainian drones over a number of Russian regions, including Moscow, during a four-hour period on Saturday night.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Russian officials did not report any casualties. The drone attack forced a brief suspension of all flights at Moscow’s airports.<\/p>\n

Russian President Vladimir Putin launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, and Moscow currently controls about 20% of Ukrainian territory. <\/p>\n

This includes Crimea – Ukraine’s southern peninsula annexed by Russia in 2014.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In a statement on Telegram, Kyiv regional head Mykola Kalashnyk said three people were killed in the Russian attacks and 10 others were injured.<\/p>\n

Kalashnyk posted photos of several houses set ablaze after the Russian strikes.<\/p>\n

In the capital Kyiv, local officials reported 11 injuries, multiple fires and damage to residential buildings, including a dormitory. <\/p>\n

Hundreds of people were seen sheltering in underground stations of the city’s metro. It comes as the capital marks its annual Kyiv Day holiday on Sunday.<\/p>\n

In Mykolaiv, Ukraine’s state emergencies service DSNS said the body of an elderly man was pulled out from a five-storey residential building hit by a drone. Another five people were injured.<\/p>\n

In Kharkiv, regional authorities reported three injuries. <\/p>\n

In Russia, the defence ministry said that Ukrainian drones targeted eight Russian regions.<\/p>\n

“From 20:00 Moscow time (17:00 GMT) on 24 May to 00:00 on 25 May, air defence units on duty destroyed and intercepted 95 Ukrainian aircraft-type unmanned aerial vehicles,” the ministry said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin reported that 12 drones heading towards the capital capital were shot down.<\/p>\n

He added that emergency services crews were deployed to assess damage caused by falling drone debris.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
