Seven people, including two children, have died in Russian missile and drone attacks across Ukraine, according to local officials. President Volodymyr Zelensky had warned of a significant offensive. In a village near Kryvyi Rih, a ballistic missile struck a private home, killing six people, including two girls aged 5 and 12, and injuring eight others, two of whom were children. In the capital, Kyiv, one person died and three non-residential buildings caught fire. Explosions were also reported in Lviv, damaging residential buildings.
