Ivano-Frankivsk

Russia launched a "massive" missile strike at Ukraine overnight, hitting energy facilities and damaging power plants in several regions, officials in Kiev said on Saturday.

Moscow has escalated its strikes against Ukraine's power network in recent months, causing blackouts and triggering Ukraine to ask consumers to ration their energy supplies.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that the war is gradually returning to Russian territory, after three Ukrainian drones were shot down over Moscow.

Over 30 people were injured in Kyiv as a result of the enemy shelling; the number of dead is being specified, spokeswoman of the Ukrainian State Emergency Service Svetlana Vodolaga told Ukrinform today.

According to her, rescue teams are working simultaneously in several places in the capital.

Powerful explosions were heard early this morning in Kyiv, air raid sirens were triggered not only in the capital but throughout Ukraine.

The blasts in Kyiv have been the most powerful in the region since Russian troops withdrew from that part of the country in preparation for battles in southern and eastern Ukraine. No damage has been reported so far.

Turkish Airlines will now fly to the Ukrainian city of Ivano-Frankivsk starting March 30, the Turkish flagship carrier announced on March 21.
