Ukrainian officials said on Saturday that more than 200 drones and almost 30 missiles were fired by Russia, with most targeting Dnipropetrovsk where three people died.

In Russia, Rostov's acting governor said two people died in the region after a car caught fire following a Ukrainian drone strike.

The attacks came as both sides gave updates on their military operations - Russia claimed to have taken two villages in Ukraine's east, while Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said troops were "gradually pushing Russian forces out" of the Sumy region.

Zelensky said Russian strikes also targeted Kharkiv and Sumy, and added on X that the strikes "cannot be left without response, and Ukrainian long-range drones ensure one".
