Ukraine woke to the sounds of explosions and air raid sirens on Monday as Russian missile strikes around the country left at least 13 people hurt and damaged critical infrastructure, with widespread power and water outages reported.
Over 50 missiles were launched resulting in at least two blasts tearing through Kyiv as energy facilities in the northeastern city of Kharkiv were struck. Rockets were also reported in the Dnipropetrovsk region in central Ukraine, along with strikes in the southeastern Zaporizhzhia area and Lviv in the west. At least 10 cities and regions outside the capital recorded explosions.
Ukraine’s national police chief Ihor Klymenko said 13 people were injured in the attacks, local news agency Ukrinform reported. The extent of their injuries was not disclosed. Kyiv Governor Oleksiy Kuleba separately said at least two people were injured in his region. “One of them is in serious condition and is in the hospital,” he wrote on the Telegram messaging platform on Monday.
