Russia has launched a major aerial attack on Ukraine, firing 122 missiles and dozens of drones, resulting in at least 24 civilian casualties and over 130 people injured, Associated Press reports.
The attack hit six cities, including Kyiv, causing widespread damage to buildings, including a maternity hospital, apartment blocks, and schools. The Ukrainian air force intercepted most of the missiles and drones, according to Ukraine’s military chief Valerii Zaluzhnyi.
This attack is considered the largest aerial barrage since Russia’s full-scale invasion in February 2022. Previous significant assaults included 96 missiles in November 2022 and 81 missiles on March 9 this year.
