The Ukrainian air force reported a significant escalation in hostilities, with Russia launching 215 missiles and drones in overnight strikes. This offensive has resulted in at least five fatalities and over 20 injuries. Notably, the northeastern city of Kharkiv suffered its most powerful assault since the invasion began in 2022, with air raid sirens wailing as residential areas were heavily bombarded. As the strikes unfolded, Ukraine's air defenses successfully intercepted many incoming threats, but civilian infrastructure remains severely impacted amid ongoing fears of further violence.
"At least five people have been killed and more than 20 wounded as Russia launched a barrage of missiles, drones and bombs across Ukraine, officials said."
"The Ukrainian air force said on Saturday that Russia struck with 215 missiles and drones overnight, and Ukrainian air defences shot down and neutralised 87 drones and seven missiles."
