Russian drones hit critical infrastructure in the central Zhytomyr region and damaged logistics facilities in the south, authorities in Ukraine said.
"Russia struck an infrastructure object of the community overnight," the Zvyahel City Council in Ukraine's Zhytomyr region said on the Telegram messaging app.
It added that there were no casualties among the civilian population, but warned of "a direct threat of air pollution," urging people to "stay indoors with closed windows," the Reuters news agency reported.
Ukraine's air force said it shot down 17 of the 24 Iranian-produced Shahed drones Russia used in its attack on the regions of Odesa, Mykolaiv, Kirovohrad, Khmelnytskyi and Zhytomyr.
A Kh-59 guided air missile launched by Russia was also destroyed over the Dnipropetrovsk region, according to the Ukrainian military.
The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine said on Monday that "76 combat engagements were recorded on the battlefield in Ukraine" over the past 24 hours.
It added that "the enemy launched seven missile attacks, 104 air strikes, and 108 MLRS [multiple launch rocket system] attacks on the positions of Ukrainian forces and populated areas," Ukrainian state news agency Ukrinform reported.
Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022, starting the largest armed conflict in Europe since World War II.
Monday is day 775 of Russia’s war on Ukraine.
