Russian Overnight Strikes Kill Dozens Across Ukraine, Including ChildrenPreviousNext

Russian forces launched extensive overnight strikes across multiple Ukrainian regions, killing between seven and thirteen people, including children, and injuring dozens. Attacks targeted cities such as Kyiv, Lviv, Dnipropetrovsk, Poltava, and Kryvyi Rih, damaging residential buildings and infrastructure. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy highlighted the use of over 70 missiles and 280 attack drones, with many intercepted by Ukrainian defenses despite a shortage of air defense missiles. Poland scrambled fighter jets in response to strikes near its border. Rescue operations continue amid ongoing conflict.
