An air raid alert has been issued across Ukraine, as a fresh wave of Russian missiles targets major cities.

Ukrainian presidential Adviser Mykhailo Podolyak said more than 120 missiles had been launched at the population and civilian infrastructure so far on December 29, according to Kyiv Independent.

At least two explosions were heard in the capital Kyiv, but it was unclear whether these were caused by missile strikes or air defences.

Blasts were also heard in the cities of Kharkiv, Odesa, Lviv and Zhytomyr.

The regional leader of the southern province of Odesa, Maksym Marchenko, spoke of a "massive missile attack on Ukraine".

The Ukrainian Air Force said Russia was attacking the country from "various directions with air and sea-based cruise missiles". It added that a number of Kamikaze drones had also been used.

Air raid alerts sounded in all regions of the country on December 29 morning.
