Ukraine war: Russia launches second pre-dawn missile attack in three days

Russia has launched a series of missile attacks on Ukraine, the second pre-dawn attack in three days.

One person died in Kherson region and 25 people - including three children - were injured in Dnipropetrovsk.

Ukraine's armed forces said 15 of the 18 missiles fired were intercepted by the country's air defence.

One of the main targets was the city of Pavlohrad near Dnipro - a Russian-installed official said resources for a Ukrainian offensive were hit.

Writing on Telegram with a thumbs-up gesture, Vladimir Rogov said missiles targeted railway infrastructure and fuel depots.

Nineteen high-rise apartment blocks, 25 private houses, six schools and kindergartens and five shops were also damaged.

Ukraine's Dnipropetrovsk military administration described it as a "tragic night and morning".

Elsewhere, Kyiv city military administration head Serhiy Popko said missiles were shot down in Kyiv airspace, too.

On Friday, Russia said its military was targeting Ukrainian army reserve units.
