Russia fired 81 missiles of various types overnight into Thursday as it launched a fresh deadly onslaught against Ukraine, the head of the Ukrainian military said.

Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces Gen. Valerii Zaluzhnyi said the missiles targeted critical infrastructure.

In addition, eight launches of Iran-made Shahed-136/131 drones were carried out, Zaluzhnyi said. 

He said Ukrainian forces destroyed 34 out of 48 X-101/X-555, “Kalibr” cruise missiles, as well as four drones.

The strikes killed at least five people in the western city of Lviv and injuries were reported in Kyiv, officials said.
