At least six people have lost their lives after a massive attack launched by Russia on Ukraine, causing severe damage to electrical and water infrastructure.

According to the BBC, missile and drone attacks hit more than half of the country’s regions, with explosions heard in several cities, including Kyiv, where residents flooded into shelters.

Ukraine's military announced the destruction of a Russian Tu-22 strategic bomber, allegedly involved in nighttime airstrikes targeting Ukrainian cities.

"We don't remember such an attack since the beginning of the invasion," Mayor of Odesa, Gennadiy Trukhanov, said on Facebook.
There were no fatalities, but the city was rocked by a series of explosions, and several people were injured by pieces of a downed Russian rocket, officials said.

On Sept. 14, 2017, a Russian Air Force Tu-22М3 RF-94233 / 20 “RED” suffered an incident when it overran the runway at Shaykovka airfield, in western Russia. On the very same date a flight of six Backfire bombers flew a mission over the Baltic Sea that, according to our sources, was probably aimed at simulating a naval attack on the Baltic Fleet.
