Russia Launches Deadly Strikes on Kyiv and DniproAt least 13 killed and over 100 injured as Russia deploys 600+ drones and advanced missiles in a nationwide offensive.
- Russia conducted a large-scale attack using over 600 drones and dozens of missiles, including hypersonic weapons, damaging residential and commercial buildings in Kyiv and Dnipro.
- Thirteen people, including a fire rescue deputy chief, were killed and more than 100 wounded as rescue operations continue to find those trapped under rubble.
- Fires, power outages, and air raid sirens disrupted city life while Kyiv’s air defenses were notably less active during ballistic missile strikes.
- Russia claimed the strikes targeted Ukrainian military and infrastructure in retaliation for alleged terrorist acts, while Ukraine seeks US missile support for its air defense.
A massive attack and a completely transparent statement from Russia: if Ukraine is not protected from ballistic and other missile strikes, these strikes will continue," Zelensky said in a statement on Tuesday, adding that "we absolutely need the United States’ help in supplying missiles for the Patriot systems."— Volodymyr Zelensky, President of Ukraine, in a statement on Tuesday
