Russia Launches Massive Overnight Drone, Missile Assault Across Ukraine, Kyiv

Russian forces launched a massive wave of drone and missile attacks across multiple Ukrainian regions, including Kyiv, Ivano-Frankivsk, Kharkiv, Dnipropetrovsk, and Donetsk, resulting in at least two deaths and numerous injuries. The assault involved around 450 aerial threats, including 426 Shahed-type drones and advanced missiles such as Kinzhals, Kalibrs, and Kh-101s, with Ukrainian air defenses intercepting or disrupting nearly 400 targets. Kyiv suffered significant damage to residential buildings, urban infrastructure, and public transportation, while other regions experienced fires, damaged farmland, and harmed civilian infrastructure. The attacks coincided with a high-level NATO meeting discussing new weapons deliveries to Ukraine, shortly after U.S. President Donald Trump pledged fresh military support, including Patriot air defense systems. Ukraine also launched drone strikes on Russia, with Moscow reporting multiple drones shot down over its capital during ongoing retaliatory actions. Despite peace talks planned in Turkey, Russia continues its bombardment, focusing increasingly on urban centers and civilian targets deep within Ukraine's rear areas.
