Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky said Friday that Russia fired around a hundred missiles in the biggest attack of his country in recent months, killing at least 10 people and wounding over 70 others.

"Today, Russia used nearly every type of weapon in its arsenal: Kinzhals, S-300s, cruise missiles, and drones. Strategic bombers launched X-101/X-505 missiles. A total of around 110 missiles were fired against Ukraine, with the majority of them being shot down," Zelensky said on X.

Agence France-Presse reporters in central Kyiv heard several powerful explosions in the early hours of Friday.

Kyiv mayor Vitali Klitschko said that there were "currently 7 hospitalized in the capital."

Klitschko later said a warehouse was on fire.

Sergiy Popko, head of Kyiv's military administration, said debris fell in two parts of the city and there was also a fire in a residential apartment building.

In the southern port of Odesa, a high-rise building caught fire after being struck by debris from a downed drone, the city's mayor said.

"As a result of another enemy attack, one of the high-rise buildings was damaged. The fire was promptly extinguished," Mayor Gennadiy Trukhanov said on social media.

Ukraine's southern command said 14 attack drones had been destroyed in the south of the country and there were no casualties reported.

Drones and missiles struck at least five other Ukrainian cities on Friday, including Kharkiv in the northeast, Lviv in the west as well as Odesa in the south, the cities' mayors and police said.

"Today, at five o'clock in the morning, the fascists' followers hit the peaceful city with S-300 missiles. Ten explosions rang out in Kharkiv," Kharkiv region police said.

Kharkiv regional governor Oleg Synegubov said: "One person has been killed as a result of the occupants' attacks on Kharkiv… Eight people were wounded."

Kharkiv Mayor Igor Terekhov later said there had been three waves of strikes on Friday.
