Russia and Ukraine have traded air strikes, after a week of intensifying rhetoric in which Russia tested a new missile on Ukraine. Russia has made close to 1,500 strikes on Ukraine since Sunday evening on about half of the country's regions causing dozens of injuries, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said.

Russia has used missiles and drones to attack Ukraine’s south, east and capital with almost 1,500 strikes in the last 24 hours, according to President Zelenskyy. Both Kharkiv and Odesa were hit by missiles, injuring 33 people. Ukraine says Russia has stepped up its use of drones to conserve its expensive missile stocks.
