Russian forces launched a series of missile and drone attacks on several Ukrainian cities overnight, extending into the early hours of Wednesday. The strikes targeted key infrastructure and urban areas, causing widespread damage and disruption.
Ukrainian officials reported that air defense systems intercepted many of the incoming projectiles, but several explosions were confirmed across major cities, including Kyiv, Kharkiv, and Dnipro. Emergency services responded promptly to fires and damage caused by the attacks, with initial reports indicating casualties among civilians and infrastructure.
The continued bombardment marks a sustained escalation in the conflict, raising international concerns over civilian safety and regional stability. Ukrainian authorities condemned the attacks as deliberate attempts to undermine the country’s resilience and infrastructure.
Global leaders have reiterated calls for an immediate cessation of hostilities and increased diplomatic efforts to resolve the conflict peacefully.
Further updates are expected as the situation develops.
