A major Russian overnight attack on Ukraine has killed four people and injured more than 30 others as Moscow launched over 660 drones and missiles in a barrage that targeted the city of Dnipro in southeastern Ukraine, and hit several other regions.

"Practically all night, the Russians bombed Dnipro and our other cities and communities," Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy wrote on social media, adding that most of the targets were urban infrastructure.

Two corpses were recovered from a building hit by a Russian strike in Dnipro, regional governor Oleksandr Hanzha said, adding that five other people could still be trapped in the rubble. Another 21 people in the city were wounded, he said.

In the northern region of Chernihiv, missile and drone attacks killed two people and wounded seven others, the governor there said.
