Kiev residents took shelter in an underground metro on Sunday as Ukraine's capital came under heavy Russian drone and missile attack in the early hours.

Independent monitors said the attack was one of the biggest Russian strikes on the capital and the surrounding region since the full-scale war began.

Ukraine's military said that Russia launched 595 drones and 48 missiles overnight and its air defences shot down 568 drones and 43 missiles, killing at least four people and injuring dozens. It noted that the main target of the strike was the capital Kiev.

Drones flew over the city and anti-aircraft fire rang out through the night. Many regions across the country were under air raid alert, while neighboring Poland closed airspace near two of its southeastern cities and its air force scrambled jets in response.
