KYIV:

The overnight strikes followed Russia's biggest drone assault of the war on Ukraine on Monday and were part of intensified bombardments in what Moscow says is retaliation for attacks by Ukrainian forces on Russia.

The Russian attack also damaged Saint Sophia Cathedral, a UNESCO world heritage site located in the historic centre of Kyiv, Ukrainian Culture Minister Mykola Tochytsky said.

"The enemy struck at the very heart of our identity again," Mykola Tochytskyi wrote on Facebook about the site he called "the soul of all Ukraine".
