Two people died when a hotel was "wiped out" in the central Ukraine city of Kryvyi Rih, regional officials said, with two more dying in drone attacks on the city of Zaporizhzhia.

Ukrainian air defences shot down about 15 drones and several missiles near Kyiv during Russia's overnight attack, according to Serhiy Popko, head of the military administration.

"Everything that flew to the capital of Ukraine was destroyed," he said.

Two civilians may still be buried under the rubble of the hotel in Kryvyi Rih and five were injured in the attack, Serhiy Lisak, the governor of the Dnipropetrovsk region where Kryvyi Rih is located. Six shops, four high-rise buildings and eight cars were also damaged, he added.
