Verification: Probable
Evidence: Russia bombards 9 Ukrainian cities overnight, calling the strikes 'massive', Explosions rock Kyiv as Russia launches ballistic missiles at the capital and other regions across Ukraine, injuring at least 7
AP attributes the regional damage to Odesa regional military administrator Oleh Kiper. The mechanisms are the documented composition of that night's wave — ballistic and cruise missiles plus jet-powered drones, with explosions reported over Odesa — and are declared for the event as a whole, not assigned to individual impacts. The regional administration named no coordinates; the claim is anchored on Odesa with a 40 km radius rather than on the country outline.
