Russian forces carried out attacks against 12 of Ukraine's oblasts over the past day, killing at least one person and injuring at least 63, regional officials reported early on Dec. 13.

Russia targeted Kyiv with a large-scale missile attack in the early hours of Dec. 13. While air defenses downed all the 10 missiles, falling debris damaged multiple buildings in the capital, Mayor Vitali Klitschko said.
