Missiles strike Ukraine cities with central Kyiv hit

BBC Summary

Russia has carried out missile strikes on cities across Ukraine, including the capital, Kyiv, in what appears to be the most widespread set of attacks since the early weeks of the war

Missiles have hit central Kyiv, as the capital is targeted for the first time in months - police say 10 people have been killed across the country

Ukraine's air force spokesman says Russia has fired 83 missiles at targets in Ukraine, with many of them shot down

Vladimir Putin confirms the strikes, saying further "terrorism" against Russia will be met with a similar response

He is referring to a large explosion on Saturday that badly damaged the only bridge linking Russia with occupied Crimea - a key route for military supplies for the war

Kyiv has not acknowledged any role but Moscow has blamed its intelligence services

Meanwhile, Ukraine's President Zelensky says the G7 is to hold an emergency meeting and that he will deliver an address
