Russia said on Monday that its forces launched massive strikes on Ukrainian military targets across multiple regions including Kiev, while Ukraine reported that its troops intercepted or shot down some of the incoming Russian missiles and drones.

In its latest report, the Russian Defense Ministry said Russian forces launched massive strikes with long-range, high-precision weapons on Ukrainian military targets, including the military-industrial complex and airfields in Kiev, Zaporizhzhia and the Sumy region. All targets were hit.

On the same day, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine claimed that Russia launched 73 missiles and deployed 656 drones in attacks on Kiev and various other areas. Ukrainian troops intercepted or downed some incoming missiles and drones.

Additionally, air raid sirens sounded in Kiev on Tuesday, and the city's air defense systems responded shortly afterward.

In the early hours of the day, air raid sirens were heard across much of Ukraine, including Kiev, where loud explosions followed in quick succession.

The Ukrainian side said 38 locations across the country had been hit, with Kiev being the main target of the Russian strikes. So far, the airstrikes have killed at least 13 people and injured over 100 in the cities of Kiev, Dnipro, and Kharkiv.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Tuesday that as the Russian Foreign Ministry had previously warned, Russia's systematic strikes against Ukrainian military infrastructure, Kiev and other cities would continue. He said that if Ukraine continues to delay and refuses to engage in genuine negotiations, the special military operation will continue.
