* Putin confirmed he ordered massive missile salvo against Ukraine as almost every major city was targeted
* He said strikes were response to 'terrorist' attacks by Kyiv, including explosion on Kerch Bridge on Saturday
* Ukraine said 83 missiles were fired, hitting energy networks, water supplies and civilians across the country
* Zelensky said Iranian-made suicide drones also took part in the attack as he accused Russia of 'trying to wipe us off the face of the earth' while vowing that such tactics would never succeed
Vladimir Putin has vowed a 'severe' response to attacks on Russia after firing dozens of missiles at Ukraine this morning, blowing up power networks and killing civilians in retaliation for the Crimean bridge blast at the weekend.
At least 83 rockets were fired, Ukraine's military said, with half shot down but half slamming into cities across the country. At least 11 people were killed and 60 wounded, Ukraine said, with eight of those deaths and 24 injuries in Kyiv alone.
Rockets also hit the German consulate, but the building was empty. A mixture of missiles and Iranian-made suicide drones were used to strike the cities of Dnipro and Zaporizhzhia in southern Ukraine, northern Kharkiv and Sumy, central Zhytomyr and Vinnytsia, and even far-western Ternopil and Lviv, President Volodymyr Zelensky said. Some of these cities have not been hit in months.

WNU Editor: So much for the Western narrative that Russia was running out of missiles. Apparently 200 to 300 missiles and drones were used in today's strikes, including a number of airstrikes.
