Explosions rang out in several cities including Kyiv on Monday morning, as more than half of the country's regions came under attack.

Authorities in Zaporizhzhia, Lutsk, Kharkiv, Zhytomyr and Dnipropetrovsk regions reported people had died in the huge air raid, which featured missiles and drones.

Russia's defence ministry confirmed it had targeted Ukraine's energy infrastructure - one of its long-term tactics - and said all its targets were hit.

The barrage of drone and missile attacks began across the country overnight on Monday and continued well into the morning, Ukraine's air force said on Telegram.
