Russia launched a massive overnight barrage of missiles and drones across Ukraine, killing at least 22 people and injuring more than 100, with Kyiv and Dnipro among the hardest-hit cities.
Ukraine said it intercepted most of the 656 drones and 73 missiles launched, but dozens of sites were still struck, causing widespread destruction and power outages.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called the attack a “brutal strike” and said limited air-defense supplies prevented more interceptions.
Russia claimed it targeted Ukraine’s military-industrial facilities, though residential buildings were heavily damaged and civilian casualties were reported, CBS News has reported.
Zelenskyy renewed calls for additional Patriot missile systems and stronger Western support as Russian aerial attacks continue to intensify.
