KYIV: Russia on Tuesday struck at military and infrastructure targets in Ukraine's capital Kyiv and across other parts of the country, including western areas far from the frontlines, Ukrainian officials said.
The Russian attacks took place as attention has been focused on Ukrainian actions against Russia's defensive positions in the south and east - the initial stages of a counteroffensive seeking to push President Vladimir Putin's troops back from territory seized since the invasion of Ukraine began in February 2022.
Several commercial and administrative buildings and some private houses were damaged, it said. There was no mention of any casualties in the overnight airstrikes.
