About ten people, including an eleven-year-old boy, have been injured in Russian attacks on the Ukrainian capital Kyiv. Several civilian buildings are reported to have been hit.

In the city of Sumy in northern Ukraine, four people have been killed, including a young girl, in an airstrike, according to the city's mayor.

In the southern region of Odesa, two people have been killed and one injured after a Russian missile hit a building.

According to President Zelenskyy, Russia attacked with 121 drones and 12 missiles, half of which were ballistic.

"Our defenders managed to shoot down most of the targets - but not the ballistic ones," he writes on X and calls for the support packages that allies promised during this week's NATO meeting in Turkey.

Russia has also attacked Zaporizhzhia. One person has been killed and around 30 have been injured - including children, Governor Ivan Fedorov said on Telegram early Saturday morning.

Meanwhile, Ukraine claims that 21 tankers in the Sea of Azov used to transport oil and oil products have been damaged in last night's attacks.

Russia says one person has been killed in the Ukrainian drone attacks and claims that only four Russian ships have been attacked.

The Russian Defense Ministry also says that air defenses have shot down 178 Ukrainian drones on Saturday night.
