refineries. One woman was killed in the southern Zaporizhzhia region and 30 people were injured - including children - according to local officials. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Russia launched nearly 540 drones and 45 missiles, urging tough new sanctions on Moscow. Following the attack, Russia's defence ministry said all "targets of the strike have been achieved" and "designated objects have been hit" - a claim that has not been independently verified.

The latest barrage comes amid ongoing international efforts to secure a peace deal between the two warring nations - and days after the Ukrainian capital Kyiv faced the second largest aerial attack of the war so far, with at least 25 killed. In the south-eastern Dnipropetrovsk region, top official Serhiy Lysak reported a number of strikes on infrastructure facilities and after a "massive" drone and missile overnight attack.

In the regional capital Dnipro, a residential house was completely destroyed and a shopping centre was damaged, Lysak said. No casualties were reported in the overnight strikes, but Lysak later said four people were injured in a Russian drone attack on Saturday afternoon. (BBC)
