Russia launched a large-scale attack on Ukraine, hitting power stations and rail networks on Monday. Over 100 missiles and drones were fired, killing at least five people, according to Ukrainian officials. The strikes targeted energy facilities in nine regions and disrupted rail transport used to supply Ukraine’s front lines. Russia’s defense ministry said the attacks were in response to Ukraine's recent advances into Russian territory. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy condemned the strikes and urged allies to provide long-range weapons to counter Russia. Poland also reported a possible drone entering its airspace during the attack, heightening security concerns.
