A barrage of Russian strikes on Ukraine early Friday left a trail of destruction visible across several cities in the country, where some buildings and properties were destroyed. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Friday's strikes killed at least four people and injured dozens.

Ukraine has frequently accused Russia of terrorism, citing attacks in which thousands of civilians have been killed. Both sides say they do not target civilians. The Russian military said in its statement that it had used long-range weapons to strike Ukraine.
