Ukrainian media reported blasts in the Dnipropetrovsk and Sumy regions. “Around 2.30am, the Russian invaders attacked Ukraine from strategic aviation planes,” said a post on the Telegram channel of Valerii Zaluzhnyi, the commander in chief of Ukraine’s armed forces.Īir defence systems were called into action to shield the Kyiv region from Russian missiles, officials said. The size of the fire in Pavlohrad suggests Russia may have hit an important arms depot, and the incident comes after Ukraine’s recent attack on an oil storage facility in Sevastopol, Crimea.
