Russia launched a major attack on Ukraine, deploying over 100 missiles and about 100 drones, targeting critical infrastructure in 15 regions. The strikes resulted in at least five deaths across Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhzhia, Lutsk, Izyum, and Zhytomyr. Explosions hit cities including Kyiv, causing widespread power outages and water supply disruptions. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed the use of high-precision weapons by Russia and urged Western allies for long-range weapon systems to strike back at attack sources. Russia’s military stated the strikes aimed at Ukraine’s “military-industrial complex.”
