At least eight people were killed across Ukraine in Russian missile and drone strikes, including a major attack near Kyiv that also wounded several others.

Ukrainian officials say Russia is shifting tactics to increase civilian harm, including more daytime strikes and broader targeting beyond energy infrastructure.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy signaled openness to an Easter truce despite the escalation, while Ukraine reported hundreds of drones and missiles launched overnight.

Russia claimed it shot down 192 Ukrainian drones over its territory and occupied Crimea, the AP has reported.

The attacks caused damage and casualties in multiple regions, highlighting intensifying fighting and humanitarian impact.
