Russia launches massive drone wave

Russia has executed one of its most extensive aerial assaults of the war, launching over 800 attack drones and ballistic missiles against Ukrainian targets.

The barrage primarily focused on Kyiv and energy infrastructure in the western regions, resulting in at least six deaths and dozens of injuries.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy noted that the shift to daytime tactics appears designed to overwhelm air defense systems.

The escalation prompted neighboring Poland to scramble fighter jets as drones approached NATO airspace.
