Terror has been unleashed onto the streets of Kyiv as Vladimir Putin followed through on his threats to unleash massive strikes on Ukraine's capital.
In the early hours of Tuesday morning, Russian forces launched waves of attacks from the skies on Dnipro, Kharkiv and the Ukrainian capital - leaving at least nine dead and more than 60 wounded.
The major assault follows days of warnings from President Volodymyr Zelensky that Moscow was planning to launch "a massive strike".
In Dnipro, five people died and at least 25 have been injured after Russia attacked the southern city with missiles and drones, regional governor Oleksandr Hanzha confirmed on social media.
Meanwhile in Kyiv, Mayor Vitali Klitschko said the overnight air attacks have left at least four dead and injured more than 50 civilians - including children.
Mr Klitschko confirmed that a 24-storey apartment block has collapsed after being hit in a suspected missile strike -with a number of people believed to be trapped under the rubble.
The Kyiv Mayor also said a blaze has erupted at a nine-storey block after being hit with missile debris.
He added: "In the Obolon district, cars are burning after being struck by falling missile debris.
"There are also fires at two locations in open areas, including one near a kindergarten."
Early on Tuesday morning, thousands of residents flocked to the city's underground network to take shelter.
Many were spotted clutching personal belongings and mattresses as air defence systems blasted across the Ukrainian capital.
