He added that rescue workers are clearing up debris.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The latest overnight attacks triggered air alerts across Ukraine &#8211; including in Dnipropetrovsk and in Zaporizhzhia.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Separately, the Polish air force said it had scrambled military jets to protect its airspace in regions bordering Ukraine, as it usually does in the event of large scale Russian strikes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Detailing the aftermath of the strikes, Synegubov said that in Kharkiv, a 65-year-old woman, a 40-year-old man, and a 13-year-old girl were among those killed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The bodies of four more people were found, including a nine-year-old boy, he later said on Telegram.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Synegubov said seven apartment buildings were damaged as were power grids and an administrative building in the city.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Zelensky said at least ten more people &#8211;
