The Russian military has stepped up attacks on distribution centres for food, cold-storage facilities, online retailers' shipping hubs and DIY stores in Ukraine.

Ukraine, for its part, has attacked numerous distribution centres belonging to Russian online retail giants Wildberries and Ozon.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said 13 regions had been affected by Russian airstrikes overnight.

In Odessa, 17 people were injured when a drone struck a high-rise building, he said.

"In many cities and communities, air raid alerts practically do not stop because of the threat of Russian jet-powered drone attacks," Zelensky wrote on social media.

Ukraine is in the fifth year of defending itself against Russia's full-scale invasion. Efforts to end the war have stalled as Moscow continues to pursue its goal of subjugating its neighbour.
