At least five people have been killed in Russian strikes across Ukraine, after a massive overnight aerial bombardment targeted several regions across the country.
Officials said the attacks were among the worst in ten days, and came hours after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky had warned of a forthcoming "massive strike" in his nightly address.
Russian strikes targeting energy infrastructure also disconnected Moldova's key power link with Europe, President Maia Sandu said, warning the situation remained "fragile".
Seven ballistic missiles, 23 cruise missiles, four air-launched guided missiles and 392 drones were used in the attack, the Ukrainian Air Force said in a statement on Telegram.
Air defence units intercepted 25 missiles and 365 drones, it added.
