Russia launched its most massive air assault on Ukraine, killing six people and injuring dozens across fifteen regions. Ukraine’s air force reported that 127 missiles and 109 drones were launched, with 102 missiles and 99 drones intercepted. Key infrastructure, including energy facilities, was targeted, leading to blackouts in cities like Kyiv. The strikes are seen as an attempt to weaken Ukrainian morale following its recent successes on Russian territory. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called on Western allies to allow Ukraine to use long-range weapons in defense efforts against Russia's continued aggression.
