In a massive overnight assault, Russia unleashed over 600 drones and 47 missiles across eight regions, with the Dnipro area bearing the brunt of the attack. The barrage resulted in the deaths of five people and left 30 others wounded, according to Ukrainian authorities.
"A night of terror as air defenses struggled to intercept the onslaught," local officials reported.
The strikes targeted critical infrastructure and residential areas, causing widespread damage and panic among civilians. Emergency services worked through the night to rescue survivors and extinguish fires.
This latest escalation underscores the ongoing intensity of the conflict, with Russia continuing to use long-range weapons to pressure Ukrainian defenses.
