“Kropyvnytsky underwent the most massive enemy attack. Peaceful residential buildings were destroyed,” regional governor Andriy Raikovych said.
The Ukrainian railway operator Ukrzaliznytsia said its services had been disrupted in the region as a result of shelling.
“This is what a ceasefire from Putin looks like. Russia attacks civilians with great pleasure,” presidential aide Andriy Yermak wrote on social media.
The Ukrainian air force said that the Russian barrage, including on Kropyvnytsky, consisted of 171 drones and that its air defence shot down 75 drones. Another 63 were downed by electronic jamming systems or were lost.
Russia meanwhile said its air defence units had shot down 132 Ukrainian drones in several regions across the country.
The southwestern region of Saratov and its city of Engels “were today subjected to the most massive UAV (drone) attack ever”, said its governor Roman Busargin, who added the attack triggered a fire at the Engels airbase.
The attack wounded two people in Engels and damaged schools and a hospital, Russia’s investigative committee said.
