Mass retaliatory Russian strikes across Ukraine on Monday (10) killed at least 10 people and hurt dozens more, according to the national police service.
"As of now, 10 people have died and about 60 have been injured across the country as a result of missile strikes by the Russian Federation on the territory of Ukraine," the national police service said in a statement on Facebook, adding that work was underway to collect evidence of "Russian atrocities".
Ukraine's capital Kyiv was hit by multiple Russian strikes early on Monday -- the first since late June.
According to Kyiv mayor Vitali Klitschko, at least 5 people were killed in the attacks.
"Five people died from rocket attacks in Kyiv. Fifty-one wounded. Of them, 42 were hospitalised," Klitschko said in a video on social media.
According to Ukraine's Prime Minster Denys Shmygal, 11 "important infrastructure facilities" had been damaged across eight regions and Kyiv.
"It is necessary to be prepared for temporary power, water and communication cuts," he said on social media.
Ukraine's army said that Russia has launched 84 cruise missiles at Ukraine, two days after a large explosion damaged a bridge connecting Russia to Crimea in an attack Moscow blamed on Kyiv.
