Two killed in Russian air strike on Ukraine

Russia launched missiles across Ukraine early Monday in its latest massive airstrikes, killing at least two civilians and hitting residential areas and commercial sites, Ukrainian authorities said.

A shopping mall and more than two dozen private buildings were damaged in the southern central city of Kryvyi Rih, governor Serhiy Lysak reported.

A 62-year-old man was killed outside the city.

“Crazy enemies are once again attacking civilians,” Lysak wrote on the Telegram messaging app. “Point missiles at people.”

The attack took place amid the cold weather that hit Ukraine.

Mayor Oleksandr Vilkul reported that 15,000 residents were without electricity and local trams and trolleybuses were not operating.

In the eastern city of Kharkiv, industrial sites and educational facilities were damaged after at least four missile strikes, governor Oleh Synyehubov said.

Officials in western Khmelnytskyi region reported at least six explosions there, but did not provide immediate details on the damage.

A senior presidential adviser said one person had been killed.

All of Ukraine was under an airstrike warning for more than three hours on Monday.

Russia in recent weeks has resumed a regular campaign of airstrikes on Ukrainian population centers far behind its nearly two-year-old invasion lines.
