In a devastating overnight assault, Russian forces unleashed 367 drones and missiles across Ukrainian cities, marking the war’s largest aerial attack to date.
The barrage claimed 13 lives, including three children in Zhytomyr, and injured dozens, with strikes hitting Kyiv, Kharkiv, Mykolaiv, Ternopil and Khmelnytskyi.
Ukraine’s air force downed 266 drones and 45 missiles, but damage was widespread, with apartment blocks and infrastructure heavily impacted.
In Kyiv, 11 were injured, while Khmelnytskyi reported four deaths. This followed another major attack on Friday, targeting Kyiv with drones and ballistic missiles.
In Mykolaiv, southern Ukraine, a Russian drone attack killed a 77-year-old man and wounded five others, according to the regional governor. The strike left a residential apartment building severely damaged, with a gaping hole from the explosion and debris strewn across the ground.
