Ukraine's military said it had shot down 54 missiles out of 69 launched by Russia. Air raid sirens rang out across Ukraine - for five hours in Kyiv. "I woke up to everything shaking, crumbling. I got up and screamed, 'Vitia, Vitia , where are you?' I ran barefoot on glass. He appeared and glass was falling off him," said 60-year-old local resident Halyna.
"At the same time, there were hits and damage, in particular to energy facilities. In some areas, emergency shutdowns may be applied to avoid accidents in the networks. Our power engineers are already working to repair everything," he added. In the Odesa region, the fragments of one missile hit a residential building, though no casualties were reported, its governor Maksym Marchenko said.
Belarus protested to Ukraine's ambassador after saying it had downed a Ukrainian S-300 air defence missile. TV footage released by Belarus' state-run BelTA news agency showed what looked like missile debris lying in a field.
