"Ukraine's air force said Moscow launched 50 ballistic and cruise missiles and 297 drones overnight, the majority of which were intercepted. Moscow continues to invest in strikes more than in diplomacy, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said, adding that this past week alone, Russia launched more than 1,300 drones, more than 1,400 guided aerial bombs and 96 missiles against Ukraine. The president added that Sunday's attacks targeted the Dnipro, Kirovohrad, Mykolaiv, Poltava and Sumy regions."
"In a separate incident in the western city of Lviv, which has been largely spared the worst of the conflict, a policewoman was killed and 25 people were injured in the detonation of explosive devices inside a shop on a central shopping street. Hours later, law enforcement said it had arrested a Ukrainian woman suspected of carrying out the bombing, without providing any further details and saying an investigation was ongoing."
"Mykola Kalashnyk, head of Kyiv's military administration, said on Telegram that Russian forces targeted five districts in the Kyiv region, injuring at least 15 people, including four children, and killing one person. Russian attacks were also reported in the eastern region of Kharkiv, where Governor Oleh Syniehubov said at least 12 settlements were targeted and six people injured. In southern Ukraine, fires broke out in the region of Odesa as Russian drones struck energy infrastructure, according to Governor Oleh Kiper."
Russian forces launched dozens of missiles and hundreds of drones in a large-scale overnight assault, with Ukraine reporting 50 ballistic and cruise missiles and 297 drones. Ukrainian air defenses intercepted the majority, but strikes damaged energy infrastructure and caused casualties across Kyiv, Odesa, Kharkiv, Dnipro, Kirovohrad, Mykolaiv, Poltava and Sumy regions. Officials reported at least one killed and multiple injured, including children. A policewoman was killed and 25 people injured in a downtown Lviv shop explosion; a Ukrainian woman has been arrested on suspicion of carrying out that bombing. Fires erupted in Odesa as drones struck energy facilities.
