Russia launched a massive overnight assault on Ukraine, firing 250 long-range drones and 14 ballistic missiles, injuring at least 15 civilians in Kyiv. Debris from intercepted projectiles sparked fires in the Solomianskyi district and damaged a shopping mall and residential building in Obolon. Residents sought shelter in subway stations. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy condemned the attack, asserting it underscores Moscow’s role in prolonging the war. He urged the global community to impose harsher sanctions and ramp up diplomatic pressure. Regions including Odesa, Dnipro, and Kharkiv were also hit, marking one of the most intense strikes in recent weeks. (PC: Reuters)
