Powerful explosions have rattled the southern Ukrainian city of Mykolaiv, and a city close to the country’s biggest nuclear power plant sustained a barrage of shelling amid Russian attacks in several regions, Ukraine’s presidential office said.

At least four civilians have been killed and 10 wounded over the past 24 hours, with nine Ukrainian regions coming under fire, the office said in its daily update.
