Up to 13 are reported to have been killed in the attacks with over 50 injured, including two children.

Ukraine is urging its allies to send air defence systems following "massive" overnight Russian strikes on the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv.

Up to 13 are reported to have been killed in the attacks with over 50 injured, including two children.

Ukraine's air force says Russia launched 570 air attacks.

While they were able to repel most of them, 25 missiles and 12 drones struck residential buildings across three dozen locations in the city.

President Volodymyr Zelensky had earlier warned of a possible overnight attack and said he was cutting short his visit to Dublin for the start of Ireland's EU Presidency.

A national day of mourning has been announced for tomorrow.
