Russia Launches Massive 12-Hour Drone, Missile Barrage on Kyiv, Killing 4

Russia launched a massive aerial and drone assault on Ukraine, particularly targeting Kyiv and several other regions, resulting in at least four deaths, including a 12-year-old girl, and numerous injuries. The attack, lasting over 12 hours, involved nearly 600 drones and dozens of missiles striking civilian and industrial sites such as medical facilities, residential buildings, and factories. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy condemned the strikes as deliberate terror and called on the international community, including U.S. President Donald Trump, to impose harsher sanctions on Russia and cut off its energy revenues. Ukraine's air defenses intercepted the majority of the incoming drones and missiles, but significant damage and casualties were still reported. Neighboring Poland responded by closing airspace near its southeastern cities and scrambling jets due to spillover concerns, highlighting regional security risks. The coordinated attacks underscore Russia's ongoing military aggression and Ukraine's urgent appeals for stronger international support to force diplomatic resolutions.
