June 13: Russia has been accused of a "massive missile attack" on several civilian buildings in Kryvyi Rih - the home city of President Volodymyr Zelensky.
At least six people died and several others were injured, officials say - and pictures show a five-storey apartment block with smashed windows and smoke rising.
Elsewhere in the country, officials say buildings were hit in a drone attack in Kharkiv and that Kyiv's air defences successfully repelled air attacks. Russia has not yet commented on the latest strikes.
The strikes come after Kyiv's counter-offensive against Russian forces got underway - with the Ukrainians saying their troops have recaptured seven settlements.
