Russia launched another wave of missile strikes across Ukraine in the early hours Tuesday. The capital Kyiv was targeted, as was the second-largest city of Kharkiv.

Ukrainian officials detailed increasing numbers of casualties and ongoing rescue efforts, as well as damaged residential and non-residential buildings. At least 40 people were injured and five people have died in the attacks, Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko said Tuesday.

Vitali Klitschko, Kyiv's city mayor, said a building and cars were on fire in one district of the city while the windows of an apartment building were shattered by a blast wave in another area. One person died in strikes on Kyiv while nine others were injured.

In Kharkiv, two civilians died and dozens were injured in strikes on the city this morning, and in central Ukraine, two people were killed in the town of Pavlohrad, near the city of Dnipro, after a "massive missile attack by Russians on the city," Serhii Lysak, the head of the Dnipropetrovsk RMA, said on Telegram.

The latest strikes come after a wave of strikes on Monday following a large-scale attack on the Russian-occupied city of Donetsk on Sunday. Russia blamed Ukraine for the attack on a market that left 27 people dead and 26 injured. A regional Ukrainian army group denied carrying out the attack.

At least 40 people have been injured, and five people are known to have died, in early morning Russian missile attacks on cities across Ukraine, Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko said Tuesday.

Posting an update on Telegram, Klymenko summed up the extent of the damage and impact of the latest strikes as follows:
