Russia conducted a massive aerial assault on Ukraine overnight, deploying hundreds of drones and ballistic missiles across multiple regions including the capital Kyiv, according to Ukrainian officials.
The attack, described as among the longest since the February 2022 invasion began, killed at least one person and wounded dozens. Emergency services responded to strikes across several cities as air defence systems worked to intercept incoming weapons.
The assault underscores Russia's continued capability to conduct large-scale strikes despite ongoing military operations in eastern Ukraine. Ukrainian officials have not yet released a full damage assessment.
