KYIV, Oct 13 (Reuters) - Russia hit no Ukrainian energy targets ⁠on Tuesday for the first time since US President Donald Trump's weekend announcement of an "energy ceasefire", while hammering cities' transport and logistics ⁠overnight with ballistic missiles and drones.

Russia's defence ministry, in its daily summary of overnight strikes, made no mention of Ukrainian energy ‌facilities. A Kremlin spokesman, asked about the energy ceasefire, would only say that contacts were ongoing, but declined to provide any further details. However, one missile came down just over a kilometre from a plant providing heating to much of the city of Lviv, in the west.
