Ukraine and Russia have continued striking each other overnight, with Volodymyr Zelenskyy accusing Moscow of using North Korean missiles, BBC reports.
The Ukrainian president said strikes in Zaporizhzhia - which killed at least six and injured at least 19 - involved ballistic missiles from Russia's ally.
In Voronezh, in southern Russia, warehouses belonging to the online retailer, Wildberries, were hit by Ukraine. The company, known as Russia's Amazon, has been repeatedly targeted in recent weeks.
The attacks come a day after at least 13 people were killed, including one child, in Ukrainian drone strikes on the Russian republic of Tatarstan, more than 1,100 km (680 miles) from the Ukrainian border.
In a video address on Monday evening, Zelenskyy said "for the first time" Russia "cannot wage war without reinforcements from North Korea".
"The more North Korean strikes there are here in Ukraine, in Europe, the more their missiles and soldiers are used, the more they correct their shortcomings and blind spots", Zelenskyy said, adding that this poses a danger to the rest of the world.
In his address, Zelenskyy also hailed a successful air strike on a Russian petrochemical plant in western Siberia on Monday as a "very significant achievement" by the Ukrainian military.
He promised "more Ukrainian deep strikes, which should demonstrate to Russia and the Russians that peace is necessary".
