Russian strikes hit several parts of Ukraine overnight, injuring at least six people and targeting energy and port infrastructure, as President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said U.S. warnings about imminent Russian ballistic missile attacks had resumed.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said a Russian missile strike hit an educational institution, a park, residential buildings and a metro area on Monday, leaving atleast one person dead and about 10 wounded.
In a post on Telegram, Zelenskyy said rescue operations were continuing as authorities worked to establish the full toll.
He added that delays in providing air defence systems to Ukraine were helping “terror” at a time when cities and villages remain under the constant threat of attack.
Russia did not immediately comment on the claim.
Kyiv came under a Russian missile attack on Monday, with a strike reported near an underground station and power cuts affecting districts east of the Dnipro River, Ukrainian officials and Reuters witnesses said.
Mayor Vitali Klitschko said an emergency crew had come under attack and that there were injuries, without immediately providing further details.
Images posted on unofficial Telegram channels appeared to show damage at an underground station, while other posts reported attacks on energy infrastructure. Reuters witnesses said a series of explosions had shaken the city.
Power was cut in several districts on the eastern side of the Dnipro River, witnesses said.
Russia’s Yakovlevo mining and processing plant, owned by steelmaker Severstal, has resumed normal operations after a drone attack disrupted power supplies, a company representative said on Monday.
“Power supply has been restored. The plant has resumed normal operations,” the representative said.
The external substation supplying electricity to the facility in Russia’s Belgorod Region was put out of service in a drone attack earlier on Monday. No injuries were reported, but the plant was partially left without power and miners were evacuated.
The facility produces iron ore from the Yakovlevskoye deposit, part of the Kursk Magnetic Anomaly, and supplies raw materials to Severstal’s main steelworks.
In early October, drones damaged another substation supplying the plant, forcing the evacuation of miners. Operations subsequently continued at a reduced capacity, with Severstal not reporting a full return to normal operations at that time.
Russian forces struck Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city, on Monday, killing two people and injuring four, Mayor Ihor Terekhov said.
Terekhov said three strikes hit a district of the city, damaging a high-rise apartment block and private homes.
Kharkiv Regional Governor Oleh Syniehubov said Russian forces had launched missiles at the city, which lies about 30 km from the Russian border and is frequently targeted by Russian attacks.
Slovakia will continue to pursue its national interests and cooperate with Russia in areas not affected by sanctions, Foreign Minister Juraj Blanar said on Monday after talks with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in Moscow.
The visit focused on Russian energy supplies and the resumption of a bilateral cooperation process suspended after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
Energy was a key topic at a renewed meeting of the intergovernmental commission, the Slovak Foreign Ministry said, adding that Blanar had been told Russia remained ready to fulfil existing supply contracts.
Slovakia continues to buy Russian oil and gas but is expected to stop purchasing Russian gas by the end of 2027 under an EU plan aimed at cutting Moscow’s revenues used to finance its war in Ukraine.
Blanar said Russia was difficult to replace in ensuring stable energy supplies, both for Slovakia and global energy markets, citing the ongoing crisis in the Strait of Hormuz.
Slovakia will continue to pursue its national interests and develop cooperation with Russia in areas not affected by sanctions, Slovak Foreign Minister Juraj Blanár said on Monday after talks in Moscow with Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov.
Blanar was in Moscow as Slovakia aimed to discuss Russian energy supplies while resuming a cooperation process suspended after Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
Russian Tu-95MS strategic bombers have carried out a planned patrol flight over Bering and Chukchi seas in the Far East near U.S.' Alyaska, Russian news agency RIA cited the Defence Ministry as saying on Monday.
Russia's Defence Ministry accused Ukraine on Monday of repeatedly striking the Russian-controlled town of Oleshky in southern Ukraine ahead of a planned humanitarian ceasefire on 27 October.
Moscow claimed Ukraine had launched 18 artillery strikes and more than 120 drone attacks on the town and surrounding roads since 19 October, disrupting aid deliveries and evacuations.
Both sides agreed on Friday to a local ceasefire to allow humanitarian aid deliveries and civilian evacuations.
The Kremlin says an agreement to resume trilateral talks between Russia, Ukraine and the United States does not restrict Moscow or Kyiv from continuing military operations.
Moscow also welcomed Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s re-election, praising his contribution to bilateral ties and BRICS.
Meanwhile, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Russia hoped Serbia’s new student-led leadership would recognise that cooperation with Moscow was in their country’s interests.
Ukraine attacked a large synthetic rubber and polymer plant in the Russian city of Voronezh, Ukrainian drone and missile maker Fire Point said on Monday, adding that its FP-1 drones were used in the attack.
It did not say when the latest attack on the Voronezhsynthezkauchuk plant took place. The facility had already been struck in September.
Russia thwarted a Ukrainian drone attack on “a key element of the Moscow's air defence system, as well as an energy facility”, Interfax news agency reported on Monday citing Russia's FSB security service.
Two men were killed and 17 people, including a child, injured after a drone attack in Russia's Voronezh region, regional governor Alexander Gusev said on Monday.
Air defence systems had destroyed 113 drones over the region, Gusev wrote on the MAX messaging app.
Fires also broke out at several industrial sites, he added.
Reuters could not independently verify the report.
The Russian Defence Ministry said on Monday its forces had hit a cargo vessel bound to Ukrainian port of Odesa, state news agency RIA reported on Monday.
The ministry said it was transporting military cargo for the Ukrainian military.
Russian forces also hit infrastructure at three berthing terminals in the port of Chornomorsk, the ministry said.
A Russian strike on Ukraine's southeastern city of Zaporizhzhia overnight injured four people, regional governor Mykhailo Semikin said on Telegram on Monday.
Another two were injured in Russian strikes on the Chernihiv region, Ukraine's emergency service said on Telegram.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says U.S. warnings about imminent Russian ballistic missile strikes have resumed in full, while SpaceX’s Starshield satellite service is again operating at high speeds after restrictions earlier in October.
