Russian missile and drone attacks across Ukraine killed at least 11 people, injured 53, and left about 140,000 households without electricity.
A direct drone strike set fire to the historic Dormition Cathedral at the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, a UNESCO-listed religious site, causing significant damage.
The barrage also destroyed a large costume collection at the Oleksandr Dovzhenko National Film Studios and damaged residential areas in Kyiv.
In Kharkiv, five emergency responders were killed in a “double-tap” attack when a second strike hit while they were responding to an earlier blast, Al-Jazeera has reported.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy condemned the attacks and called on G7 countries to increase pressure on Russia and strengthen Ukraine’s air-defense capabilities.
