Russia launched a large-scale missile attack on Ukraine on Friday, striking several cities including Kyiv, the capital. Ukraine’s armed forces said in a Friday evening update that Russian forces fired more than 100 missiles throughout the country and staged 12 air and 20 shelling attacks. The Facebook post said 61 cruise missiles were destroyed.

Kyiv mayor Vitali Klitschko said 10 Russian missiles had been shot down over the capital after sirens blared during the morning rush hour and weary civilians took shelter. It was the first attack on Kyiv in two weeks.

Energy minister German Galushchenko said Russia had hit power facilities in six regions with missiles and drones, causing blackouts across most of Ukraine, Reuters reported. Ukrainian prime minister Denys Shmyhal said Ukraine was without 44% of nuclear generation and 75% of thermal power capacity, according to Reuters.

The attacks came a day after Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskiy ended a tour of European allies to lobby leaders for long-range weapons and fighter jets. “London, Paris, Brussels – everywhere I spoke these past few days about how to strengthen our soldiers. There are very important understandings and we received good signals,” he said in his nightly video address. “This concerns long-range missiles and tanks and the next level of our cooperation – fighter aircraft.”
