Five people are currently known to have been killed and 26 injured, including five children. People may still be trapped under the rubble. Rescuers are working continuously at the site.

As a result of russian missile strikes, five apartment buildings in Dnipro and four high-rise buildings in Kremenchuk were also damaged. Two people were killed in Kremenchuk, and another eight were injured.

In Zaporizhzhia, a russian drone damaged a high-rise residential building. Two people were killed in Kyiv, and another two people were killed in Oleksandriia.

In total, during the overnight attack, russian forces struck infrastructure in Kyiv and 12 regions of Ukraine.

One of the main targets of the attack was Ukraine's energy sector. According to Zelensky, russia used 70 missiles, a significant portion of them ballistic missiles, as well as attack drones.

The president noted that Ukrainian air defense was able to destroy only some of the targets, while russian ballistic missiles remain one of the biggest challenges for Ukraine.

"Air defense packages are a vital necessity for us right now. That is why we are searching every day for missiles for the Patriots, which can and must truly protect people's lives here, in the Ukrainian skies", - Zelensky said.
