<p>Nine people have been killed and several others injured in a wave of Russian strikes on Ukraine during which a major religious landmark in Kyiv caught fire, reports say.</p>
<p>Four people were killed in attacks on Kyiv, while five rescue workers died trying to put out a fire caused by a Russian strike on the north-eastern city of Kharkiv, Ukrainian officials said.</p>
<p>The 11th Century Dormition Cathedral was significantly damaged in what Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko called a &#8220;brutal assault on our people and our heritage&#8221;.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, a Ukrainian drone attack in the Russian city of Tula, south of Moscow, killed three people and wounded three others, including a one-year-old, officials said.</p>
<p>Drone and missile strikes set fire to buildings and cars and left more than 140,000 people in Ukraine&#8217;s capital without electricity, Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said. Most of Ukraine was under air raid warnings on Monday.</p>
<p>The Kyiv strikes, which targeted several residential buildings, left at least 23 people wounded, while five others were wounded in Kharkiv.</p>

<p>&#8220;We will be urgently initiating all relevant procedures within Unesco and all other international mechanisms, demanding immediate and adequate responses to this state barbarism,&#8221; Ukraine&#8217;s foreign affairs minister Andrii Sybiha said in a statement on X, referring to the Cathedral in the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra monastery.</p>
<p>Ukraine&#8217;s neighbour Poland said its scrambled fighter jets and placed ground-based air defence systems on alert in a &#8220;preventive&#8221; response to Russian strikes in Kyiv.</p>
<p>The strikes come ahead of a G7 meeting this week in France, where the war in Ukraine is on the agenda.</p>
<p>On Sunday, Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensy said he had spoken with US President Donald Trump about efforts to end the long-running conflict.</p>
<p>Russian President Vladimir Putin launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.</p>
