At least nine people have been killed and many injured across Ukraine by what it says were aerial attacks by Russian forces.

Ukrainian officials also said Russian jets bombed a number of trucks and other vehicles in the southwestern Odesa region, killing two people and wounding three.

In Kherson oblast, Governor Oleksandr Prokudin said one person was killed and two injured after Russian forces launched drone, artillery, and air attacks on more than 20 settlements.

A ballistic missile, which local authorities believe was an Iskander-M model with a cluster warhead, landed in the suburbs of Mykolaiv, killing a 20-year-old man and injuring 19 other people, including two children.

In the front-line Zaporizhzhia region, Governor Ivan Fedorov said one civilian was killed, three injured, and homes were damaged after Russian attacks targeted 18 settlements.

These attacks also left tens of thousands of residents without power. Fedorov said nearly 60,000 people faced power outages, adding that emergency crews will undertake repairs as soon as the security situation allows.

Ukraine’s national energy operator, Ukrenergo, announced scheduled rolling blackouts across the country, which it said were a result of “massive Russian missile and drone attacks on energy facilities”.

Meanwhile, Ukraine also launched attacks on Russian troops and infrastructure. Russia’s Ministry of Defence said its air defences intercepted 164 Ukrainian drones, including 39 over the Black Sea and 26 over Crimea, overnight.

Ukraine’s military intelligence claimed its forces had dealt a “serious blow” to Russia’s military logistics by launching strikes on the Koltsevoy pipeline in the Moscow region, which spans 400km (250 miles) and supplies gasoline, diesel and jet fuel from refineries.

It said all three fuel lines were destroyed near the Ramensky district. There was no comment from Moscow.

On the northeast shore of the Black Sea, a Ukrainian drone attack struck the town of Tuapse, with Ukrainian media reporting that a tanker and an oil terminal pier were hit.

The two sides also remain engaged in a major battle over the city of Pokrovsk that is key to Moscow’s campaign to control the entirety of the eastern Donetsk region.

Russia claimed on Saturday that it killed a number of Ukrainian special forces landing by helicopter in the city, while Ukrainian army authorities rejected the notion that they were encircled in the area.

Russian media also claimed on Saturday that two pro-Russian hacker groups have breached six major Ukrainian insurance firms, obtaining personal data on senior political and military officials as well as millions of customers.
