Emergency services reported widespread fires and significant damage to several buildings in the area.

Regional governor Oleh Kiper said: “The enemy attack damaged residential high-rises, private houses, a supermarket, a school, and cars.”

He confirmed that rescue workers were extinguishing flames following the horrific attack.

Ukraine’s state-owned railway Ukrzaliznytsia said the overnight attack damaged its tracks and various trains.

They said: “Railway employees are carrying out rapid repair work to ensure that freight trains run to ports without interruption.

“They are currently following an alternative route.”

The company added that one of the people killed in the strikes was a railway worker.

Ukraine’s air force said that mad Vlad launched five ballistic missiles and 170 drones during the overnight blitz.

74 drones were shot down while another 68 did not reach their targets, according to the force.

Images showed vile Vlad’s damage – with fiery infernos blazing up in apartments and civilians fleeing from their homes.
