Russia launched one of its largest air attacks on Ukraine overnight, firing around 600 drones and 90 missiles, including the Oreshnik hypersonic ballistic missile, Ukrainian officials said. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said civilian infrastructure, markets, schools and businesses were hit in Kyiv and several regions. Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha accused Russia of targeting civilians rather than military sites. At least four people were killed and dozens injured. Russia’s Defence Ministry claimed the strikes targeted military command centres, air bases and defence industries in response to Ukrainian attacks on Russian-controlled territories.
