Russian forces stepped up attacks on Saturday, with scattered strikes in Kyiv and western Ukraine in a reminder that no region is out-of-bounds despite Russia’s pivot toward the east.

Russian troops struck a military target in Kyiv that killed one and injured several and shelled an oil refinery in Lysychansk that caught fire. After Russia’s Black Sea flagship was sunk by Ukrainian missiles, Russia warned Friday there would be more attacks on the capital’s military targets.

The southern Mykolaiv region was battered Friday and Saturday. According to the presidential office, airstrikes Friday killed five and wounded 15. The head of the regional legislature, Hanna Zamazeyeva, also said Saturday that 39 people have been wounded in the past 24 hours.

Zamazeyeva said the targets included several residential blocks “where there are no military facilities.”

Ukraine’s presidential office reported Saturday that missile strikes and shelling over the past 24 hours occurred in eight regions: Donetsk, Luhansk and Kharkiv in the east, Dnipropetrovsk, Poltava and Kirovohrad in the central Ukraine and Mykolaiv and Kherson in the south.
