Summary:
At least 12 people were killed and 20 injured in overnight Russian strikes on Kyiv and surrounding areas.
Two children were among those injured during the attacks.
Six railway workers were killed after a depot belonging to Ukraine's state railway was struck.
Eight people were killed in Kyiv, where fires were reported across three districts.
Four others died after a residential building was struck in Boryspil.
Russia said its strikes targeted Ukrainian military and energy infrastructure.
Ukraine said Russia launched numerous drones and ballistic missiles during the attack.
Kyiv has experienced six consecutive days of sustained Russian drone and missile attacks.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged Vladimir Putin to end the war one day before the latest strikes.
Separately, a drone attack caused a fire at Russia's major Ust-Luga Baltic Sea port.
Why this matters: Sustained Russian attacks are increasing pressure on Ukrainian air defences while causing further civilian and infrastructure losses.
What’s next: Ukraine is expected to continue responding against Russian strategic targets as diplomatic pressure for an end to the war continues.
