Russia intensifies daytime strikes on Ukraine; at least six killed

Russia has escalated attacks on Ukraine with increased frequency of daytime strikes, with at least six people killed in bombardments today, according to Tagesschau. Russian forces fired more than the typical volume of ordnance in a single day operation.

The shift toward daylight attacks represents a tactical change in Russia's air campaign and signals Moscow's willingness to accept higher casualties among its own forces. The intensified bombardment compounds humanitarian pressures on Ukrainian civilian populations and infrastructure.
