In an unprecedented escalation, Russia unleashed a massive aerial assault on Ukraine, hitting six regions and marking one of the conflict's most intense attacks. Ukrainian officials reported three emergency responders dead in Kyiv as they attempted to aid citizens amid the chaos.
The onslaught involved 407 drones and 44 missiles, with Ukraine managing to intercept some but not all. This development signals an ongoing stalemate despite diplomatic talks between the nations. Russia's refusal to negotiate concessions has kept tensions high, and the recent offensive underscores the prolonged nature of the war.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian drones targeted Russian regions, further intensifying the conflict. In Russia, air defenses intercepted numerous drones, marking a significant tit-for-tat as both sides deal with the war's devastating impact on civilian and military targets alike.
