The attacks began in the morning and lasted for hours.
At least six people have been killed and dozens more injured in a new wave of attacks described by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as "one of the longest and most massive Russian attacks on Ukraine."
The attacks began in the morning and lasted for hours, hitting several regions of the country, including the capital Kyiv, the western city of Lviv near the border with Poland and the southern port of Odessa on the Black Sea.
According to Ukrainian authorities, the offensive involved drones, cruise missiles and ballistic missiles, with the aim of overwhelming Ukraine's air defense systems. Zelenskyy stated that Ukrainian forces were continuing their defense, but the intensity of the attacks indicated a clear escalation of the war.
In the southern Kherson region, a woman was killed after a Russian drone hit a bus in the town of Bilozerka. Meanwhile, in the western Rivne region, three people were killed and four others were injured in another drone attack, according to governor Oleksandr Koval.
In northeastern Ukraine, in the Kharkiv region near the Zolochiv area, a 60-year-old man was killed in an FPV drone attack, which also damaged houses and buildings. In the south, in the Zaporizhzhia region, a 76-year-old man was killed after a bomb attack targeted an agricultural enterprise, also causing extensive material damage.
Local authorities report that attacks have continued on Russian territory and in Russian-occupied areas of Ukraine. In the Russian region of Bryansk, two people were injured after Ukrainian drone strikes, while several civilian homes and vehicles were damaged. In Russian-controlled parts of the Kherson region, Moscow-appointed officials reported civilian deaths in various drone strikes.
In the Russian region of Belgorod, four people were injured by other air strikes, according to local authorities, while the Russian Defense Ministry said its forces shot down and destroyed 286 Ukrainian drones overnight over several regions, including Kursk, Bryansk and Rostov, as well as over the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov.
