KYIV Ukraine said Russia had destroyed homes in the south and knocked out power in the north in a new round of missile attacks on Monday, as the West tried to limit Moscow's ability to finance its invasion by imposing a price cap on Russian seaborne oil.
Air alerts sounded across Ukraine and officials urged civilians to take shelter from what they said was the latest in the waves of Russian missile strikes since its Feb 24 invasion.
NetBlocks, a London-based Internet monitor, said that connectivity had plunged in many Ukrainian regions during the strikes.
Throngs of people packed into the vast underground metro in the Ukrainian capital Kyiv to take shelter, wrapped up in warm hats, thick coats and wearing their hoods up.
Temperatures hovered at around minus 5 deg C.
"Don't ignore the alarm," Mr Andriy Yermak, head of the Ukrainian presidential staff, said as air raid alerts were issued across the country.
