Russia Launches Massive Missile, Drone Attacks Across Ukraine Killing 13, Injuring 57

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned Russia's massive drone and missile attacks on multiple Ukrainian regions, including Kyiv, which resulted in casualties and extensive damage to residential buildings. He called for stronger international sanctions on Russia to pressure Moscow into agreeing to a ceasefire, emphasizing that only decisive action can end the ongoing war. The overnight assault involved hundreds of air attack weapons, including ballistic and cruise missiles and strike drones, many of which were intercepted by Ukraine's air defenses, though some caused damage on the ground. The attacks coincided with a recent prisoner exchange between Ukraine and Russia, highlighting the ongoing conflict despite diplomatic efforts. Zelensky criticized the prolongation of the war as a deliberate act by Moscow and appealed to the global community, including the U.S. and Europe, to maintain firm pressure on Russia. Eyewitness accounts and officials described the attacks as among the heaviest combined aerial strikes on Kyiv during the war, causing multiple injuries and widespread destruction.
