Russia Conducts Large-Scale Night Attacks Across Ukraine Causing Casualties, Damage

Ukraine experienced a series of intense Russian aerial assaults over consecutive nights, including the largest attack of the conflict with at least 367 missiles and drones launched nationwide. The Kyiv region suffered significant damage, with 22 private homes destroyed or damaged in Markhalivka and additional damage to homes, outbuildings, and vehicles reported in Borispol, Fastovsky, and Buchansky districts, though civilian casualties were largely avoided. However, there were injuries reported in the Zaporizhzhya district where drone strikes destroyed a private house and nearby properties, as well as casualties from artillery fire in Kindratovka. Other affected regions included Odesa, where drone strikes caused fires and injured a boy, Khmelnytskyi, Kharkiv, and Cherkasy, where Ukrainian defense forces intercepted numerous drones. Despite the widespread destruction, critical infrastructure remained operational, and Ukrainian defense forces actively intercepted enemy drones, demonstrating resilience amid ongoing hostilities. The Kremlin has maintained its stance by referring to these attacks as a 'special military operation' without commenting further.
