Russia has launched a series of missile and artillery attacks in Ukraine, the second attack after three days ago.

One person was killed in the 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 defenses.

One of the main targets was the town of Pavlohrad near Dnipro.

In a Telegram post, Vladimir Rogov said the missiles targeted railway infrastructure and fuel depots.

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

Ukraine's military has been talking for some time about a major counteroffensive, without specifying where and when it might start.

Pavlohrad is in Ukrainian-held territory, about 70 miles (110 km) from the front line.

In one of his statements, the head of the military administration of the city of Kyiv, Serhiy Popko, said that the missiles also fell in the airspace of Kyiv.

In the Kherson region, which is still partially controlled by Russia, a Ukrainian regional authority said the Russians had carried out 39 shelling.

According to authorities, they came from ground-based weapons, as well as drones and aircraft.

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

Ukraine's air defense systems have been strengthened in recent months after the West sent weapons again./ CNA.al
