Four killed in Dnipro as Russia carries out strikes across Ukraine

Russian overnight strikes have killed four people and wounded at least 16 in Ukraine's Dnipro, the regional governor said, the latest deadly attack in a war that is in its fifth year.

"The number of wounded in the Russian overnight strike on Dnipro has risen to 16," regional governor Oleksandr Ganzha said on Telegram on Tuesday.

"This enemy attack has claimed the lives of 4 people."

Earlier, Kiev Mayor Vitali Klitschko said a fire had broken out in the Podil district on the grounds of a non-residential property, and a nine-storey apartment building was on fire after debris apparently struck the roof after Russia's attack on the capital.

"In the Obolon district, cars are burning after being struck by falling missile debris. There are also fires at two locations in open areas, including one near a kindergarten," Klitschko said on Telegram.

'Systematic strikes'

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Monday reiterated warnings of a possible massive Russian strike and urged residents to pay special attention to air raid alerts.

"Intelligence warnings regarding Russian strikes remain in effect. A massive strike is possible, they have prepared one," Zelenskyy said in his nightly video address.

"Our defenders are ready 24/7 to the fullest extent possible with the supplies currently available."

Russia last week warned that it intended to launch "systematic strikes" on targets in Kiev linked to the Ukrainian military as well as decision-making centres, and urged foreigners to leave.

It said the action was in response to a drone strike last week on a dormitory in Ukraine's Russian-held Luhansk region, which killed 21 people. Ukraine denied carrying out the attack.
