Ukraine’s air force says Russia launched over 100 drones and two ballistic missiles at Ukraine overnight.
The attacks follow Russia's warning to foreign citizens and diplomats on Monday to leave Kyiv, citing its planned “systemic strikes” on the Ukrainian capital.
Despite the threats, the European Union and other delegations say they will stay.
Ukraine's foreign ministry says the security threat level remains unchanged.
Ukrainian President Zelenskyy highlights a shortage of air defense missiles, partly due to the Iran war.
Analysts suggest Russia's warnings aim to distract from its military struggles and economic issues caused by the ongoing conflict.
