Russia launched a large-scale missile attack across Ukraine overnight, killing at least seven people and injuring several others. The capital city, Kyiv, was targeted with ballistic missiles, with Mayor Vitaliy Klitschko urging residents to seek shelter as explosions rocked the city and caused fires.

In Kryvyi Rih, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's hometown, six people including two children were killed when a residential building was hit. Eight others were injured in the industrial city. In Lviv, six people were wounded in Russian airstrikes that reportedly struck a residential building.

The enemy is attacking the capital with ballistic missiles. The danger of further attacks remains. Seek shelter.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy had warned on Wednesday that Russia was likely preparing a massive assault. Meanwhile, Russia reported a drone attack on a warehouse belonging to e-commerce giant Wildberries in the western city of Penza, which injured one person and led to 200 evacuations. Zelenskyy has previously accused Wildberries of supplying drone components and military equipment to the Russian army.

Russia has been preparing a massive attack for several days, and there is a high probability that the attack will be carried out tonight.
