Russia launches large-scale drone and missile strike on Ukraine – Naharnet

A recent attack by Russia in Ukraine has left at least three people dead and caused widespread destruction. The assault involved a massive drone and missile barrage targeting energy infrastructure, resulting in power and water supply disruptions in the capital city of Kyiv.

The attack, which began at midnight and lasted into the morning, marked one of the most significant offensives by Russia against Ukraine in weeks. Multiple regions of Ukraine were hit by Russian drones and missiles, causing casualties and extensive damage to buildings and infrastructure.

In response to the crisis, the city administration of Kyiv announced plans to establish “points of invincibility” where residents can seek shelter, charge their devices, and access refreshments during energy blackouts. Similar points were previously opened in Ukraine in 2022 following previous attacks on the country’s energy infrastructure.

The situation escalated further as neighboring Poland and NATO activated their air defenses due to the ongoing conflict. In Russia, officials reported a Ukrainian drone attack that resulted in injuries and damages in several regions.

The escalating violence underscores the urgent need for a peaceful resolution to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine before more lives are lost and further damage is inflicted on both countries.
