Officials said new Russian strikes targeted cities across Ukraine on Thursday, the latest in a series of operations aimed at crippling Ukraine's energy infrastructure, amid warnings of a "vast Russian missile onslaught over all of Ukraine's territory." Kyiv city officials stated, "Over Kyiv, two cruise missiles were shot down. Information about any injuries or damage is being clarified "after authorities in the cities of Dnipro (center) and Odessa, which overlook the Black Sea, reported Russian airstrikes. For the first time in weeks, the governor of the Odessa region stated, a Russian missile strike targeted the region in the country's south. On his Telegram page, Governor Maxim Marchenko stated that the hit targeted infrastructure today, Thursday, and warned of the possibility of "a catastrophic Russian missile onslaught across the entire territory of Ukraine." Marchenko's remarks come as media outlets report explosions in other locations of Ukraine. The strike on Thursday comes after a tremendous barrage of Russian missiles last Tuesday, which included a missile that impacted Poland.
