Russia Launches Massive Ukraine Attack

The overnight bombardment by Russian forces represents a major escalation in the ongoing conflict, following a brief Easter ceasefire.

Ukrainian officials reported that the strikes primarily hit residential buildings and emergency service centers, causing widespread destruction.

In response to the attack, Kyiv has renewed its pleas for additional Patriot missile systems from Western allies to protect its skies.

The Kremlin claimed the operation was in retaliation for recent Ukrainian strikes inside Russian territory.
