A deadly wave of Russian missile strikes across Ukraine has killed at least 11 people and injured 64. Russia's attacks are the most widespread since the early weeks of the war - hitting major Ukrainian cities from Lviv near the Polish border, to Kharkiv in the north east. The barrage of attacks was in retaliation for Saturday's explosion on the only bridge to Russian-occupied Crimea. Russian president Vladimir Putin has said the strikes targeted energy, military and communications facilities. But the cruise missiles hit busy intersections, parks, children's playgrounds and tourist sites. Sofia Koczmar-Tymoshenko is a journalist based in Lviv, who has just returned from Kyiv.
