At least four people were killed when a Russian drone penetrated an apartment block in eastern Kyiv, during a wave of strikes throughout the Ukrainian capital.
Condemning the attacks as vile and calculated, President Volodymyr Zelensky said about 430 drones and 18 missiles had been launched and dozens of high-rise buildings damaged.
As emergency workers sifted through the wreckage of the block of flats in the Lisovyi area, one Kyiv resident called Vita described how the drone had pierced the building, exploding on the other side.
Several other regions were also targeted. A drone attack on a market at Chornomorsk in the south of the country killed two people. The Russian Black Sea port of Novorossiysk was hit in an overnight Ukrainian attack. Fire broke out at the major Sheskharis oil refinery, and a ship and apartment blocks were hit, officials said.
Krasnodar governor Veniamin Kondratyev said three crew members and another man were hurt in the attack which damaged the main oil depot and a container terminal. President Zelensky said Ukraine had fired long-range "Long Neptune" cruise missiles during its attacks on Russia overnight, without specifying what they targeted.
Mayor Andrei Kravchenko has declared a state of emergency and Reuters reports that oil exports have been halted.
