Russia fired missiles across Ukraine early Monday in its latest massive airstrike, killing at least two civilians and hitting residential areas and commercial sites, Ukrainian authorities said.
A shopping mall and more than two dozen private buildings were damaged in the south-central town of Kryvyi Rih, Governor Serhiy Lysak said.
A 62-year-old man was murdered on the outskirts of the city.
“The mad enemy attacked civilians again,” Lysak wrote on the Telegram messaging app. “Missiles aimed at people.”
The attacks came amid a cold snap gripping Ukraine.
Mayor Oleksandr Vilkul reported that 15,000 residents were left without electricity and that local trams and trolleybuses were not running.
In the eastern city of Kharkiv, an industrial site and an educational facility were damaged after at least four missile attacks, Governor Oleh Synyehubov said.

Authorities in the western Khmelnytskyi region reported at least six explosions there, but gave no immediate details about the damage.

All of Ukraine was under anti-aircraft alert for more than three hours on Monday.
In recent weeks, Russia has resumed a campaign of regular airstrikes against Ukrainian population centers far behind the lines of its nearly two-year invasion.
