Russia launches massive drone-and-missile barrage on Ukraine; Kyiv struck, civilians killed
Russia launched a massive overnight drone-and-missile barrage that struck Kyiv and multiple regions — Zelenskyy said it involved “nearly 500” strike drones and more than 40 missiles while Ukraine’s air force put the toll at roughly 595 drones and 48 missiles, with defenses shooting down or jamming the vast majority. At least four people were killed (including a 12-year-old girl) and about 70 wounded nationwide, as strikes damaged residential buildings, a medical facility, a kindergarten and more than 100 civilian sites across Kyiv, Zaporizhzhia, Khmelnytskyi, Sumy, Mykolaiv, Chernihiv and Odesa.
