Quote: "During the night, an enemy-launched aerial asset fell right next to a residential building on Kharkiv Motorway. The blast wave was so strong that it blew out windows in all the surrounding buildings. Doors were ripped off in people's flats. A fire broke out in an apartment block.

We are coordinating efforts with emergency teams and municipal services to deal with the aftermath as quickly as possible. The scale of the damage is significant.

At this site, 17 people are known to have been injured and one person has been killed. More than 600 windows and balconies have been damaged."

Details: Earlier, Tkachenko said that traffic on Kharkiv Motorway was restored after being closed since the night.

Quote: "Debris from enemy-launched aerial assets has littered the lanes due to the attack. This has caused a traffic collapse on the section, which has affected the entire left bank."

Background:

• On the night of 28-29 November and the following morning, Russian forces launched a combined strike on Ukraine, using about 36 missiles and almost 600 drones. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said that Russia's main targets were energy infrastructure and civilian facilities.
• In Kyiv, blocks of flats and houses in several districts have been damaged in the attack. Two people have been killed in the capital and another 37 have been injured.
• Half a million Kyiv residents have been left without power as a result of the attacks. Electricity supply has later been restored for some consumers.
• Officials reported earlier that traffic on Kharkiv Motorway in the capital had been closed during Russia's combined attack, with trolleybus and tram services on the right bank of the city delayed.
