    Things have generally been increasing in intensity between both sides in the past few weeks.

    In terms of Kyiv, the capital, the last few nights have actually been very calm - but last night it was certainly a different picture, with rounds of air raids alerts and missiles and drones.

    There’s been a heavy exchange of fire by both sides in recent days.

    Ukraine has claimed success for the long-range drone attacks that it has launched against oil refineries but also against the warehouses of Wildberries, the Russian online retailer.

    One of those warehouses is burning again this morning on the edge of Moscow. Ukraine says it is targeting those facilities because Russia uses them to supply its military.

  2. Flames and plumes of smoke after Kyiv market hit

    Firefighters have been tackling a fire that started overnight at a market in the Ukrainian capital Kyiv after it was hit by Russian missiles and drones - it has since been extinguished, emergency services say.

    Air-raid sirens have sounded five times since Saturday night in Kyiv. At least six people, including a child, were reportedly injured in the capital, Mayor Vitali Klitschko says.

    Meanwhile, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin says more than 600 Ukrainian drones have been intercepted heading for the Russian capital capital.

    Moscow regional governor Andrey Vorobyov describes how the region has been hit by "one of the most massive drone attacks in recent memory".

    He says that a drone strike caused a fire at a Wildberries warehouse in the Koledino Industrial Park and that employees were forced to evacuate.

    Wildberries - Russia's biggest online retailer - has been targeted in recent weeks by Ukraine, which says the company's warehouses are being used as "logistics facilities" for military equipment.

    The Kremlin has denied that online platforms are used for army supplies, but a variety of military-related goods such as body armour are on sale, alongside items with both civilian and drone-production applications.

    Firefighters work to extinguish a blaze following a Russian attack on Kyiv on Sunday

    A fifth Ukrainian has been reported killed in Russian strikes overnight.

    The mayor of Kryvyi Rih says a 44-year-old man reported missing has been found dead in rubble.

    Another person was killed and 14 workers of a steel plant were wounded. Russia says the site was producing weapons components.

    Two people in their 60s were killed when a house was destroyed in Zaporizhzhia.

    Emergency services say fires at a market in Kyiv have now been extinguished after it was hit overnight.

    Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky says six people have been injured in the city, following four rounds of air strikes through the night and this morning. The president referred to a fifth death yesterday evening in Sumy, when a car was hit.

    Russia says its attacks on Kyiv last night targeted a FirePoint facility producing parts for Ukrainian Flamingo missiles, and a factory making components for drones.

    Russia’s defence ministry says in Poltava region, it hit the Kremenchuk oil refinery which it says supplies fuel to the Ukrainian military.

    Russia says it hit a dry cargo vessel near Odesa, claiming it was carrying military equipment.
