The latest Russian attack on Ukraine was a “massive combined strike” on “all regions”, Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said.
The Ukrainian president added that Russian “terrorists” had used “about 120 missiles and 90 drones”.
The missiles – cruise, ballistic and aeroballistic – included “zirkons, Iskanders, and daggers”, he said.
Drones included Iranian-designed Shaheds.
Ukrainian air defences destroyed more than “140 air targets”, Mr Zelenskyy said.
He commented on Telegram: “The enemy’s target was our energy infrastructure throughout Ukraine.
“Unfortunately, there is damage to objects from hits and falling debris.
“In Mykolaiv, as a result of a drone attack, two people were killed and six others were injured, including two children.
“My condolences to the relatives and friends of the deceased.
“As of now, areas are without power, [and] all the necessary forces are involved in the elimination of consequences and in restoration.”
The president said Ukraine’s air defences included anti-aircraft missile troops, “pilots of F-16s”, and “mobile fire groups”.
