Russia bombards Ukraine with a barrage of ballistic missiles and drones in massive attack

الوصف:

On Thursday, Russia launched a massive overnight attack on Ukraine, firing 598 drones and 31 ballistic missiles that struck apartment blocks in Kyiv and damaged the offices of the European Union and the British Council. The assault, the deadliest since the U.S. President’s Alaska summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin, killed at least 21 people, including three children, and injured over 20. The Ukrainian air force reported the strike as the second largest aerial attack since Russia’s full‑scale invasion began three years ago, and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said it was now obvious that a meeting between Putin and Zelensky would not happen.
