Zelenskyy claims that four people were killed in Russian attacks, but Moscow claims that air sites in Russia were hit by Ukrainian drones. While Moscow claimed that Ukrainian drones had hit two air sites deep within Russia hundreds of kilometers from the front lines, Ukraine accused Russia of demolishing houses in the southeast and cutting off electricity in numerous regions on Monday.
In Ukraine, a fresh missile bombardment was launched just as the earlier damage had been rectified and emergency blackouts were set to expire. Because of the attacks, several areas of Ukraine are once again in complete darkness and below-freezing temperatures (32 Fahrenheit).
Attacks were not specifically attributed to Ukraine. They would be the most intense assaults within the Russian heartland since Moscow invaded Ukraine on February 24 if it were behind them. The Engels airport near Saratov, which is around 730 kilometers (450 miles) southeast of Moscow, is one of the targets and is home to bomber aircraft used by Russia's strategic nuclear weapons.
Russian defense ministry: "The Kyiv government attempted to attack the military airfields Dyagilevo in the Ryazan area and Engels in the Saratov region using unmanned jet aerial vehicles built in the Soviet Union in order to cripple Russian long-range aircraft."
According to the report, the drones were shot down by air defenses as they were flying at low altitudes. 185 kilometers (115 miles) southeast of Moscow, on the Ryazan base, there were recorded fatalities.
According to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, at least four persons were killed in the Russian assault, and the majority of the approximately 70 missiles were shot down. He said that energy personnel had already started the process of restoring power supply.
According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, Ukrainian drones attacked two air bases in the south-central Russian cities of Ryazan and Saratov, killing three military personnel and injuring four others. When the drones were shot down, two aircraft sustained damage from drone debris.
The drone attacks were described by the Russian defense ministry as a "terrorist" act meant to interfere with its long-range aircraft.
However, the ministry claimed that in response, Russia launched a "massive strike on the military control system and related objects of the defences complex, communication centers, energy, and military units of Ukraine with high-precision air- and sea-based weapons," in which it claimed that all 17 specified targets were hit.

The latest in a series of weeks-long strikes on Ukraine's vital infrastructure that have shut out electricity, heat, and water to many regions of the nation, the Ukrainian air force reported downing more than 60 of more than 70 missiles fired by Russia on Monday.
The chief of the Ukrainian presidential staff, Andrii Yermak, said on Telegram, "Our men are great.
Additionally, Kiev's troops have shown an improvement in their capacity to attack important Russian sites outside of the 1,100 km (684 mi) front line in eastern and southern Ukraine.
The closest Ukrainian region is at least 600 kilometers (373 miles) away from Saratov. On social media, Russian commenters said that if Ukraine was able to strike that deep within Russia, it would also be able to target Moscow.
Less than two months after the same structure was also struck by an explosion, President Vladimir Putin drove a Mercedes across the bridge connecting southern Russia to Crimea on Monday.
None of the explosions have been linked to Kiev; all it has said is that they are "karma" for Russia's incursion.
Mykhailo Podolyak, a Ukrainian presidential adviser, tweeted on Monday in jest: "If something is launched into other nations' air space, sooner or later mysterious flying objects will return to [their] departure location.
Moscow has been attacking Ukraine's energy infrastructure on average once a week since early October as a result of having to withdraw from certain fronts of conflict.
This time, missile fragments were reportedly discovered on Moldovan land close to the Ukrainian border by police.
According to Kyrylo Tymoshenko, the deputy director of the presidential office, at least two individuals were murdered and many homes were destroyed in the Zaporizhia area.
According to officials, missiles also struck energy plants in the Ukrainian districts of Odesa, Sumy, and Vinnytsia, as well as in the central areas of Kyiv and Vinnytsia.
Oleksiy Kuleba, the regional governor of the Kyiv region, praised the performance of the Ukrainian air defenses and claimed that 40% of the area lacked electricity.
Ukraine had just just switched from the emergency blackouts it had experienced since massive Russian strikes on November 23, the deadliest of attacks on energy infrastructure that started in early October, to the regularly scheduled power outages that had been in place since Monday.
According to Russia, the barrages are intended to weaken Ukraine's armed forces. They constitute a war crime, according to Ukraine, because they are obviously directed at people.
