He said that the strikes hit residential buildings, offices and a theological seminary.

Emergency response efforts are also ongoing in Odesa, Sumy, Kharkiv and Chernihiv oblasts following the attack.

Quote from Zelenskyy: "Over the course of the night, Russia launched more than 120 drones and 12 missiles, half of them ballistic. Our defenders managed to shoot down most of the targets – but not the ballistic ones.

We expect our partners to deliver on their promises regarding support packages agreed at the NATO Summit to help protect our people. We must move as swiftly as possible on licensing agreements for Patriots and the joint European anti-ballistic defence project."

Background: On the night of 10-11 July, Russian forces attacked Ukraine with six Iskander-M/S-400 ballistic missiles, four Kh-59/69 guided air-launched missiles, two Kh-31 anti-radiation missiles and 121 UAVs, the Air Force reported.
