LONDON, Oct 10 (Reuters) - Russia's defence ministry said it hit "all designated targets" in a massive missile attack on Ukrainian military, communications and energy infrastructure on Monday. Russia said the goals of the missile strikes had been achieved, in one of the largest coordinated Russian attacks against Ukraine since the first weeks of the war. Ukraine said the rush-hour attacks in eight regions appeared to have been deliberately timed to kill people, accusing Russia of terrorism. "Today, Russia's armed forces have inflicted a massive strike with high-precision long-range weapons against Ukrainian military, communications and energy targets," the Russian defence ministry said in its daily briefing. Ukraine said it was seeking a "resolute response" from the United Nations and the West in response to the attacks.

Reports have surfaced across Russia of men with no military experience or past draft age suddenly receiving call-up papers. "Some (recruiters) hand over the call-up papers at 2 a.m., as if they think we're all draft dodgers," he said. There has been a particular outcry among ethnic minorities in remote, economically deprived areas in Siberia, where Russia's professional armed forces have long recruited disproportionately. The interior ministry of the Russian region of North Ossetia advised people not to try to leave the country for Georgia at the Verkhny Lars frontier post, where it said 2,300 cars were waiting to cross.

On Monday, the Kremlin rejected allegations of such abuses in Kharkiv region, where Izium is located, as a "lie". A grave of 17 Ukrainian soldiers was also found. One of the Russian soldiers did surreptitiously give him water without the others seeing, he said, and he was eventually released by his jailors - and found by passers-by.
