More blackouts are occurring in Ukraine as a result of "massive" Russian aerial attacks that targeted energy facilities.
Facilities in six regions have experienced emergency shutdowns.
Two missiles launched from the Black Sea, according to Ukraine's top general, crossed Moldovan and Romanian airspace, which could increase tensions given that Romania is a member of NATO.
Moldova acknowledged the intrusion, which it called a "violation.". It declared that it would keep an eye on things.
In the wake of the incident, a presidential aide from Ukraine reaffirmed the need for fighter jets from the West.
According to a tweet from Mykhailo Podolyak, Russia had been attacking Ukraine "all night and morning.". He criticized "political hesitation" regarding the supply of new weapons to his nation.
Following another trip to the UK for the same purpose, President Volodymyr Zelensky met with EU leaders on Thursday to request jets.
The S-300 missiles, which are challenging to intercept, were fired on the Kharkiv and Zaporizhzhia regions, according to information provided by the Ukrainian air force.
In addition to five Iranian-made drones that Moscow has been employing during the conflict, it claimed to have shot down five other types of rockets.
There were explosions heard in Kyiv, and the metro system was advised as a safe haven for locals. The Reuters news agency reported that one station was used for classroom instruction.
The nation's capital and other cities both employed air defenses. At least three "waves" of missiles were described by the governor of the southern Mykolaiv region.
According to the state-owned power company, Friday's additional bombardment struck its infrastructure in the eastern, western, and southern regions.
According to officials, there were seven injuries and approximately 150,000 homes without electricity in the Kharkiv region alone. According to the mayor of the city, nobody was hurt in Kiev.
Russia has repeatedly attacked Ukraine's energy infrastructure this winter. Although Russia denies intentionally harming civilians, some analysts have described this as a war crime.
An official recently told Latvian media that the country's energy workers have increasingly dangerous jobs and that 98 of them died while carrying out their duties last year.
The head of Ukraine's state-owned rail network tweeted a defiant message on Friday as the aerial attacks got under way.
There won't be any cancellations of trains, according to Alexander Kamyshin. We have a plan.
