Rescue workers in the night tried to extinguish cars set ablaze in the attacks and helped evacuate residents from the damaged buildings.

“Due to the threat of repeated attacks, rescuers had to suspend their operations several times and move to a safe location,” the emergency service said.

The Ukrainian air force noted that Russia launched two missiles and 143 drones in the barrage, adding that its air defence units had intercepted one missile and 116 drones.

Russia expected its invasion to swiftly overthrow Ukraine’s government, but more than four years later, the war has become Europe’s deadliest conflict since World War II, with hundreds of thousands killed and millions displaced on both sides.
