NEW: Russia launches new wave of missile attacks on cities across Ukraine, days after the country retook the key southern city of Kherson.

Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said on his Telegram channel that two residential buildings were hit in the city's Pechersk district, while several missiles were intercepted and shot down. Authorities found a body in one of the buildings, he said.Air raid sirens were heard across the city and the wider Kyiv region, and people were urged to stay in shelters as flames poured out from one of the apartment blocks that were hit.

"85 missile strikes were fired at Ukraine, at our cities, mostly at energy infrastructure. It is clear what the enemy wants — he will not achieve it," Zelenskyy said in a short video posted to Telegram. He warned residents to stay in shelters as more attacks could follow. Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said that the strikes should put an end to pressure for peace talks with Russia.

But on Tuesday Russia pulled back troops and civilian administrators from towns on the eastern bank of the Dnieper River opposite Kherson, according to Reuters, signs that it might be forced to retreat further after withdrawing across the river just last week.
