A wave of strikes was reported across Ukraine early Friday — from the capital, Kyiv, to Kharkiv and Sumy in the northeast, and Poltava in central Ukraine. At least two people were reported killed and eight injured when a residential building was hit in the central city of Kryvyi Rih, local officials said.
Kyiv officials said critical infrastructure and nine homes had been damaged.
Subway services were suspended for the day, with stations being used as shelters.
Military officials in Kyiv said they had seen about 40 missiles in the capital’s airspace, and had destroyed 37 of them. The figures could not be independently verified by The Washington Post.
