On the night and morning of March 9, Russia launched another missile strike across Ukraine, trying to intimidate Ukrainians again with its “pathetic tactics.”

The enemy will definitely be held accountable for everything committed, President Volodymyr Zelensky wrote on Telegram.

"It's been a difficult night. A massive rocket attack across the country. Kyiv, Kirovohrad, Dnipro, Odesa, Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia, Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk, Zhytomyr, Vinnytsia regions. Attacks on critical infrastructure and residential buildings. Unfortunately, there are injured and dead. My condolences to the families," the head of state wrote.

Zelensky assured the Ukrainians that all emergency response services are currently working at the sites of the strikes, and that the power system is being restored.

He added that power consumption caps are being applied in all regions.

The head of state thanked the guardians of the Ukrainian sky and everyone who is helping the nation overcome the consequences of the insidious attacks by Russian invaders.
