Intensified Russian Attacks on Ukraine Result in Civilian Casualties
Ukraine has reported extensive Russian drone and missile strikes overnight, marking one of the longest aerial assaults in over four years of conflict.
The Ukrainian military indicated that Russia launched at least 675 drones and 56 missiles, with significant impacts in Kyiv, where President Volodymyr Zelensky reported at least ten fatalities and numerous injuries. Civilian infrastructure, including residential buildings and a school, sustained damage, with reports of a twelve-year-old girl among the deceased. Additional strikes were noted in Kharkiv, Odessa, and Sumy, as Zelensky condemned the attacks as acts of terror and called for a robust response from Western allies. This escalation follows a brief ceasefire and appears aimed at increasing pressure on Ukraine amid stalled peace negotiations.
