In a significant escalation, Russia unleashed a massive barrage of nearly 700 drones and dozens of missiles across Ukraine overnight, marking the largest attack in nearly two weeks. Civilian areas bore the brunt of the assault, resulting in at least 16 deaths and over 80 injuries. Kyiv, Odesa, Dnipro, and Zaporizhzhia were among the hardest-hit cities, with civilians—including children—tragically caught in the crossfire.
