A Russian strike on the northern Ukrainian city of Chernigiv has killed nine people and wounded about 20, as Kyiv sounds the alarm over shortages in its air defence capabilities.

President Volodymyr Zelensky, who has been urging allies to send more missiles to thwart Russia n air attacks, said Ukraine lacked sufficient air defences to intercept missiles.

"Many multi-storey buildings were damaged. Civilian infrastructure is damaged. Dozens of vehicles have been destroyed," Mr Chaus said. "This would not have happened if Ukraine had received sufficient air defence equipment and if the world's determination to resist Russian terror had been sufficient," Mr Zelensky said on social media.
