These are the first Russian missile strikes on Ukraine
These are the first Russian missile strikes on Ukraine's cities since Kyiv's forces liberated the key southern port city of Kherson on Friday.
The recapture of Kherson is seen by Ukrainians as a major victory - like the retreat of Russian troops from the Kyiv suburbs in March - and a humiliation for the Kremlin.
Some 30,000 Russian troops withdrew to the eastern bank of the Dnipro, and at the weekend there were celebrations in Kherson. The city had been under Russian occupation since early March.
But before today Russia had already fired hundreds of missiles at Ukrainian cities, hitting residential blocks, power stations and many other civilian installations. Many were cruise missiles fired from Russian bombers or ships positioned outside Ukrainian territory.
Ukraine says its air defences have shot down many Russian missiles during these strikes.
Russia claims the Kherson region and three other occupied Ukrainian regions to be part of Russia, as well as Crimea, which Russia annexed in 2014. The claim - following hastily organised local "referendums" - is rejected internationally.
