The full scope of the attacks was not immediately known, but the Tuesday morning strikes likely involved cruise missiles, the military said. There was no immediate comment from Moscow about Tuesday's attacks. Both sides say they target facilities key to military in their frequent drone and missile attacks, not civilian infrastructure.
Zelenskyy also said that his country's assault on Russia's Kursk region showed that Kremlin threats of retaliation were a bluff as he urged Kiev's allies to loosen curbs on using foreign-supplied weapons.
