Russia launched drones and missiles overnight on Tuesday at Ukraine, killing at least three people, damaging houses and triggering fires, Ukrainian officials said.
The attack came as President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned on Monday of an imminent, mass Russian attack on the country, citing Ukrainian intelligence.
Meanwhile, one person was killed and five injured in a drone and missile strike on the city of Zaporizhzhia in southeastern Ukraine, the regional governor said on the Telegram messaging app.
"Russia launched a massive combined strike on Zaporizhzhia using drones and missiles," Governor Ivan Fedorov said.
Fedorov also reported that six apartment buildings, two private houses, a store, non-residential buildings as well as an industrial infrastructure facility in Zaporizhzhia were damaged in the attack.
He posted pictures on Telegram showing firefighters putting out a fire in a high-rise building and of a smaller building engulfed in flames.
Over in the eastern Poltava region, two people were killed and 11 injured in the attack, the regional governor said, adding that residential buildings and a hotel were damaged.
Meanwhile, Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB), police and national guard in Moscow have been put on higher alert due to intelligence that there is a threat of a sabotage attack from Ukraine, Russia's state RIA news agency reported on Tuesday.
During the four-year war between Russia and Ukraine, both sides have carried out attacks far behind the front lines, using drones and sabotage units to carry out killings and attack critical infrastructure.
RIA said that the FSB, the main successor to the KGB, had received intelligence that Ukraine planned acts of sabotage and attacks on "government officials, military personnel of the Russian Defence Ministry and law enforcement officers."
The comment comes after Lieutenant General Vladimir Alexeyev, Deputy Head of Russia's GRU military intelligence service, was shot three times in February with a Makarov pistol equipped with a silencer in an apartment block on the Volokolamsk highway in northern Moscow. He survived the attack.
