Russian missiles launched early on Tuesday morning at Kyiv and other cities hit crucial infrastructure in Lviv in the west, according to officials.
Both the assaults on the nation's capital and Zaporizhzhia in the south were referred to as massive.
According to the Ukrainian air force, 35 drones were launched, and all but three were shot down.
After hearing explosions early on Tuesday, the local government in Lviv declared that no one had been injured in the attack.
However, Maksym Kozytskyi, the head of the regional authority, claimed that three shots had been fired after an extremely important target had been struck by Iranian Shaheed drones.
The air force reports that from Russian territory to the north and from the coast of the internal Sea of Azov in the southeast, waves of more than 20 drones were fired at the capital. The first incident of this kind in 18 days, according to Kiev authorities.
Officials reported that a number of Iskander-M ballistic missiles had attacked Zaporizhzhia, but that no one had been hurt. According to the governor, three drones were also shot down over Mykolaiv's southern region.
Much of the Ukrainian military's current offensive to retake territory that Russia had taken at the outset of its full-scale invasion in February 2022 is concentrated in the Zaporizhzhia region.
In an effort to breach Russia's southern front line, Ukrainian forces have recaptured the village of Piatykhatky, according to defense minister Hanna Malyar, who made the announcement hours earlier. According to her, it was the eighth Ukrainian village to be retaken in the previous week. The most recent developments have not been independently verified.
The military was advancing in some areas while defending positions against Russian attack, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, in his nightly television address.
Towards the occupied southern cities of Melitopol and Berdyansk, the defense minister claimed that Ukraine's push had advanced 7km (4.3 miles) in two directions in Zaporizhzhia.
Ivan Fedorov, the exiled mayor of Melitopol, claimed that locals had witnessed Russian forces departing for the front line in Zaporizhzhia from the Kherson region to the west.
Melitopol and Berdyansk are located on a coastal route that connects Russia and occupied Crimea that is vital to the Russian military due to the fact that supply lorries typically avoid using the Kerch Strait Bridge. A Russian MP stated earlier this month that although the "land corridor" was functioning normally, the bridge was not thought to be secure.
Since the Dnipro river flooded nearby areas after the Kakhovka dam was destroyed on June 6th, according to Western intelligence officials, Russian troops have withdrawn from the Kherson front line.
