Russia's Massive Drone Attack on Ukraine

Russia launched a large-scale drone and missile attack on Ukraine overnight into Sunday, with Ukraine — Kyiv suffering the heaviest assault. The attack killed at least four people, including a 12-year-old girl, and wounded dozens across multiple regions including Zaporizhzhia, Khmelnytskyi, Sumy, Mykolaiv, Chernihiv, and Odesa. Civilian infrastructure, residential buildings, a medical facility, and a kindergarten were targeted. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy condemned the attacks and announced a $90 billion weapons package from the United States, which includes arms and Ukrainian-made drones. The assault also prompted Poland to deploy fighter jets as a preventative measure due to concerns about the conflict spreading. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated Russia has no intention to attack Europe but will respond decisively to aggression, while Russia's Defense Ministry claimed to have shot down 41 Ukrainian drones.
