Russia said on Sunday that it had used aircraft, drones, missiles and artillery to strike Ukrainian armaments factories, transport infrastructure used by the Ukrainian army, airfields and arsenals.
Ukrainian officials said that Russia's largest overnight air attack of the war set the main building of the Ukrainian government in Kyiv on fire and left three people dead.
"Operational-tactical aircraft, unmanned aerial vehicles, missile forces and artillery... have damaged targets in the military-industrial complex and the transport infrastructure of Ukraine used in the interests of the Ukraine Armed Forces," the Russian defence ministry said.
It also said its forces had struck drone plants, storage and launch facilities for long-range drones, arsenals, airfields, radar stations and places where Ukrainian soldiers and foreign mercenaries gathered.
