Russia Pounds Kyiv With Missiles And Drones, Energy Grid Targeted

Russia launched a massive overnight assault on Kyiv and multiple Ukrainian regions, firing dozens of missiles and nearly 300 drones in one of the largest recent barrages. Ukrainian officials say energy infrastructure was the main target, with residential buildings and railway lines also damaged. At least one person was killed and several others injured as fires erupted across the capital’s suburbs and southern Odesa region. Ukraine’s air defenses intercepted many of the incoming threats, but strikes still caused destruction. The attacks come as diplomatic efforts stall, with Kyiv accusing Moscow of escalating terror instead of pursuing peace.
