In a significant escalation of hostilities, Russia and Ukraine have engaged in a series of intense drone and missile strikes. Russia has launched record numbers of drones against Ukraine, with reports indicating over 100 drones hitting various targets, including Kyiv, resulting in casualties and significant damage. Ukrainian officials reported that Russia executed its largest aerial attack of the war, while Kyiv authorities confirmed multiple strikes caused at least one death and numerous injuries. In a retaliatory move, Ukrainian drones reportedly targeted Russia’s Black Sea fleet, leading to chaos in Russian air travel, with numerous flights canceled. Amidst these developments, President Zelenskyy has called for increased air defense capabilities as Ukraine seeks to bolster its military production and response against the ongoing assault. The situation remains volatile, with mounting international concerns over the humanitarian impact of the conflict.
