Massive Russian Missile, Drone Strikes Kill Multiple Across Ukraine

Russia launched a massive and multifaceted attack on Ukraine involving hundreds of drones and missiles, targeting multiple regions including Kyiv, Kryvyi Rih, Odesa, and Dnipropetrovsk. The strikes caused significant destruction, including fires in residential buildings and the government building in Kyiv, resulting in several casualties, including at least two deaths in Kyiv, one of whom was a one-year-old child. Ukrainian officials reported that their air defense systems intercepted a large number of UAVs, but many still hit their targets, leading to power outages and widespread damage. Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha condemned the attacks as a serious escalation, urging the international community to increase pressure on Russia through sanctions and reduced energy imports. The assaults coincided with ongoing stalled diplomatic efforts and drew international concern, with neighboring Poland even scrambling fighter jets to protect its airspace. The scale and intensity of the attacks reflect Moscow's continuing readiness to pursue military action despite global calls for peace.
