Damage has been reported in 11 regions following Russia’s massive overnight strike. As of now, four people are known to have been killed, and dozens more wounded.

According to Ukrinform, President Volodymyr Zelensky reported this on Telegram.

“In Zaporizhzhia and Poltava, ordinary apartment buildings were damaged, and fires broke out. Nearly 40 drones were launched against Shostka in the Sumy region. In Slatyne, in the Kharkiv region, a drone struck an electric train. Overall, damage has been reported in 11 regions. As of now, unfortunately, four people have been reported killed in the attack. My condolences to their families and loved ones. Dozens more have been injured, including children,” Zelensky stated.

The president also expressed gratitude to everyone who is helping strengthen the defense of Ukrainian airspace.

“In total, there were over 390 strike drones and 34 missiles of various types – ballistic, cruise, and guided air-launched missiles. These numbers clearly show that more protection is needed to save lives from Russian strikes. It is important to continue supporting Ukraine. It is important that all agreements on air defense are implemented on time. And it is important that Europe is able to produce the necessary number of air defense missiles to protect itself against any threats,” he added.

Zelensky noted that recovery efforts are currently underway following the massive Russian attack overnight across regions of Ukraine.

As reported by Ukrinform, intelligence services received information that the Russians might be preparing a massive strike on the night of March 23.
