Air raid warnings sounded for hours across Ukraine earlier Tuesday, with officials reporting large-scale missile strikes on Kyiv and Kharkiv.
Ukraine's air force warned of incoming Russian missiles targeting Kyiv, noting on Telegram Tuesday that "repeated launches" of Russian Kh-47M2 Kinzhal or "Dagger"Â hypersonic air-launched ballistic missiles "are possible."
"Explosions in the capital," Kyiv's Mayor Vitali Klitschko said on Telegram early Tuesday, adding that electricity supplies and water supplies have been cut off in several areas of the capital.
The fragments of Russian missiles destroyed by Ukrainian air defenses landed in eight districts across the city, Kyiv's city military administration said on Telegram.
Five people are now known to have died in the strikes and over 100 injured. Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Russia would be held "responsible for every life taken" in Ukraine.
The latest strikes come days after Ukraine attacked the Russian border city of Belgorod on Saturday, killing at least 25 people and injuring more than 100. On Monday, Russian President Vladimir Putin vowed to avenge Russia.
