Russia deployed missile aircrafts as they unleashed the horror attacks onto cities around war-torn Ukraine including in the capital of Kyiv.
The number of deaths and injuries could potentially rise as the rubble gets cleared.
Nine were hurt in Kyiv as thick, black smoke was seen taking over the city skyline after a tall residential building was struck and left crumbling to the ground.
Kyiv was also reportedly shaken by ten devastating explosions that rocked the city.
A separate missile strike saw one dead in Pavlohrad.
Kharkiv faced at least seven explosions with power lost in a number of districts.
A multi-storey residential building in Kharkiv was completely destroyed as a result of Russian missile fire.
Two were reported killed, 13 wounded hospitalised including a girl, ten.
Children were reported with shrapnel wounds.
Two women were in serious condition.
Rescuers were removing the rubble, where people might be trapped, the local authorities reported.
Explosions were also reported in the Sumy region, Dnepropetrovsk region and Zhitomyr.
In Kyiv’s Svyatoshinsky district, a building and cars were on fire, and there were claims of debris hitting a kindergarten.
In Solomensky district, windows in an apartment building were smashed by a blast wave.
One victim was hospitalised.

Emergency services were at the scene.

Kyiv mayor Vitalii Klitchko said: “An unexploded warhead of a rocket was found in one of the apartments in a residential building in Sviatoshynsky district.
“People are being evacuated from the house.”
The wave of strikes will be seen as Russian revenge for an attack on a market in the Tekstilshchiki district of Donetsk city on Sunday in which 27 were killed and at least 20 wounded.
The deaths were blamed by Moscow on Ukrainian shelling of civilians.
Ukraine strongly denied responsibility and said Russia had hit the market in the Putin-controlled invaded territory.
Ukraine has in recent days hit targets in Putin’s home city St Petersburg and the surrounding Leningrad region.
Pro-Kremlin online media outlet Mash said Russia had staged “A large-scale attack on military-industrial complex facilities and the fuel infrastructure of Ukraine”.
