Large-scale Russian air attacks strike multiple Ukrainian cities

Overnight, Russia launched a significant wave of missile and drone attacks targeting infrastructure across Ukraine. Reports on the death toll vary between 13 and 16, with casualties documented in Kyiv, Odesa, Dnipro, and Zaporizhzhia. In Kyiv, a 12-year-old child was among the fatalities, while dozens of civilians were reported wounded nationwide. Ukraine's Air Force reported that out of 324 drones and three ballistic missiles launched, 309 drones were intercepted, though impacts occurred in at least nine regions. Simultaneously, Russian officials reported a Ukrainian drone strike in the Krasnodar region that resulted in the deaths of two minors. The Russian Ministry of Defense subsequently issued warnings regarding European drone production, while Dmitry Medvedev suggested that manufacturers could become potential military targets. Rescue operations remain ongoing in affected Ukrainian districts, with officials urging increased international support.
