Russian missiles pounded cities across Ukraine early Thursday morning, according to authorities, sparking fires, killing at least two people and trapping others under rubble. The early morning missile attack on what’s known as the International Day of Peace was Russia’s largest in over a month, and came amid the United Nations General Assembly summit in New York, where Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy had denounced Russia as “a terrorist state.”

In the southern Ukrainian city of Kherson, near the front lines, two people were killed Thursday and at least five injured after a strike hit a residential building. In Kyiv, seven people were injured, including a 9-year-old girl, and some residential and commercial buildings were damaged. At least six strikes damaged civilian infrastructure in the Slobidskyi district of Kharkiv and left two people hospitalised.
