An intense exchange of fire continues between Ukraine and Russia in both territories as Kyiv's incursion into Russia's Kursk region looks to enter its fourth week.
Ahn Sung-jin covers this conflict.
Russian troops raided across Ukraine on Monday killing at least three people.
This is according to local media which reported that Ukrainian air forces spotted Russian drones flying over, which were soon followed by cruise and ballistic missiles.
Air raid alerts were issued across the country.
Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal stated that the Russians targeted around 15 energy facilities overnight, leading to an emergency blackout.
The mayor of Kyiv said all electricity and water supplies were cut off due to these power outages.
Russian authorities have yet to release a statement regarding the latest attack on Ukraine.
This comes after Ukrainian drone strikes attacked the southwestern border city of Belgorod on Sunday.
Russian officials say five Russian civilians were killed and 12 others injured, issuing a state of emergency in the Voronezh region.
It's been nearly three weeks since the Ukrainian forces began operations in the Kursk region and Kyiv says it's now using new high-tech drones capable of precision strikes against its enemies.
However, the Russian defense ministry says its military has things under control,.. and claims it has repelled Ukrainian offensives.
Russian defense officials say nearly 40 Ukrainian drones and eight U.S.-made HIMARS missiles were shot down by its air defense system, adding that the Ukrainian military had suffered significant losses.
Moscow's defense ministry claims that some 19-hundred Ukrainian soldiers were killed inside Russian territory.
Meanwhile, Russian forces inside Ukraine continue its offensives on the eastern front, with Ukrainians in the Donetsk being evacuated.
Ukrainian officials said the Russian airstrikes on a hotel in the region killed a British national, and injured 2 journalists, all reportedly working for Reuters..
The Associated Press noted that these airstrikes are the largest within the past few weeks.
