Overnight missiles landed in #Kharkiv #Odesa #Mykolaiv #Luhansk + #Ternopil' regions.

The satellite towns around #Kyiv remain under curfew for at least another 24 hours. Officials are documenting war crimes, but another reason for the 'lockdown' is safety. #Ukraine's army has so far found 5,000 explosive devices, many Russian booby traps.

UPD:
#Ternopil was attacked for the first time in the war.
Mykhailo Holovko, chairman of the Ternopil Regional Council saID air defences shot down all #Russia's missiles.
However it's now known fragments have damaged "critical infrastructure" in the western #Ukraine city.
