In a significant escalation of hostilities, Russia has launched a series of attacks on Ukraine using its advanced Oreshnik ballistic and hypersonic missiles. These strikes have targeted various regions, including Kyiv and Lviv, resulting in multiple casualties. Reports indicate that at least four civilians have been killed and numerous others injured due to the bombardments. The Russian military claims these attacks are retaliatory measures, and there are concerns regarding the use of nuclear-capable missiles in these strikes. In a dramatic overnight assault, Russia reportedly deployed over 240 drones and missiles, marking one of the largest attacks in recent times. As Ukraine calls for increased support from its allies, the situation remains critical as both sides brace for further escalations.
