Russia launched a "massive" overnight attack on Ukraine's southern and central regions, authorities said, as Kyiv struck Russian oil refineries.
One woman was killed in Zaporizhzhia and 28 people were injured - including three children - according to local officials.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Moscow launched over 500 drones and 45 missiles, hitting 14 regions across the country.
It comes amid ongoing international efforts to secure an end to the war - and days after Ukraine faced the second biggest aerial attack of the war so far, with a least 23 killed on Thursday.
