Russian President Vladimir Putin has confirmed the strikes on a range of locations in Ukraine this morning.
In a video address, he says long-range missiles hit energy, military and communications facilities.
Putin promises a “harsh” response to any further “terrorist” acts on Russian territory.
The Russian leader is today expected to meet his security council and discuss the explosion at the weekend on a bridge linking Russia to Crimea – something for which he blames Ukraine.
