Russia Launches Deadliest Ukraine Strike
In a massive escalation of hostilities, Russian forces conducted a coordinated overnight bombardment across Ukraine, utilizing a record number of unmanned aerial vehicles and ballistic missiles.
The strikes primarily hit civilian infrastructure and residential areas, resulting in at least 16 fatalities, including children.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy condemned the attack, stating that Russia's actions prove it does not deserve the lifting of international sanctions.
The assault has left critical infrastructure damaged and thousands of residents seeking shelter in underground facilities.
