Russia strikes Ukrainian cities overnight, damaging homes and infrastructure

Russia launched a wave of missiles and drones at multiple Ukrainian cities overnight, according to Ukrainian officials. The attacks damaged civilian areas and infrastructure, adding to the toll of Moscow’s ongoing campaign against urban targets.

Officials said the barrage hit several locations, with emergency crews assessing damage and responding to the aftermath. Reports from the scene indicated impacts on residential and public infrastructure, though the full extent of casualties and destruction was not immediately clear.

The latest assault comes amid sustained Russian strikes that have repeatedly put civilians at risk across Ukraine. Ukrainian authorities have continued to urge stronger air defenses and international support as they work to limit the impact of the attacks on everyday life.

As the war grinds on, each new strike underscores the vulnerability of cities far from the front line. For Ukrainian residents, overnight alerts and damage to homes, transit, and utilities have become another harsh reminder of the conflict’s civilian cost.
