At least 11 people have been killed and over 70 injured in Kiev, Kharkov, and Odessa after Russia launched several salvos of long range missiles last night. Witnesses say barrage after barrage of missiles came-in, blowing up buildings in several major cities.
Initial reports say Odessa was hit hard. Two buildings destroyed and two damaged. Air defense was overwhelmed. Locals report more than 10 Kalibr/Onyx missiles hitting the city by preliminary information.

Alleged missile launches by Russian fascists off of the coast of Crimea this morning. Today appears to be the largest attack on Ukraine to date in terms of the number of missiles & drones launched concurrently.

While missile attacks by Russia have become commonplace of late, the intensity of the attacks last night was said to be very much higher.
Below is additional video from Kiev, showing the aftermath of yet another missile strike in the city:
As this conflict grinds forward, the Russians are also winning along the front; with Russian troops making significant gains. Yesterday, I was told that **all** the land regained by UKRAINE in it's summer "counter-offensive" has been re-won by Russia, and those areas are now seeing additional Russian gains.
Ukraine is losing the conflict very badly.
