Authorities reported multiple explosions in western and southern Ukraine on Monday as Russian forces claimed near full control of the strategic southern port city of Mariupol following almost two months of bloody fighting.
After failing to overcome Ukrainian resistance in the north, the Russian military has refocused its ground offensive on the Donbas region, while launching long-distance strikes at targets elsewhere, including the capital, Kyiv.
In the regions of Lviv and Dnipropetrovsk, authorities reported multiple explosions early on Monday. According to media outlet Suspilne, two people were wounded in the Dnipropetrovsk attacks. Lviv Mayor Andriy Sadoviy said there had been five missile strikes on the city. It was unclear if there were any casualties there.
