A fresh wave of Russian strikes on Ukraine killed at least seven people and wounded more than 50 on Monday, according to Ukrainian officials cited by international news agencies. The attacks hit the capital, the central city of Dnipro and Kharkiv in the north-east, a day after strikes killed eight people in other regions.

In Dnipro, a strike on an office centre killed three people and wounded at least 12. In Kharkiv, a nine-storey residential building was hit; CBS News, citing local officials, reported 43 people injured, including 11 children, while other outlets gave lower early figures as rescue work continued.

A week of heavy bombardment

On Sunday, attacks killed three people in Sumy, among them a 16-year-old girl, as well as three in Zaporizhzhia and one each in Odesa and Kyiv. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Russia had launched more than 2,200 drones, about 1,630 glide bombs and 38 missiles at Ukraine over the past week, and renewed calls for more air-defence systems from partners. Our earlier piece on the intensifying air war gives background.
