Russia launched a large-scale overnight drone and missile assault on Ukraine, with strikes hitting residential areas across several regions, according to Ukrainian officials. At least four civilians were killed in the attack, underscoring the continued human toll of Russia’s war on Ukrainian cities and neighborhoods.

Officials said the barrage involved a combined wave of drones and missiles, adding to the pattern of repeated strikes on civilian infrastructure since the full-scale invasion began. The attack damaged homes and other urban areas, forcing emergency crews to respond amid ongoing air-raid alerts and widespread fear among residents.

Ukrainian authorities said the strike affected multiple regions, though details continued to emerge after dawn. The scale of the assault pointed to a coordinated attempt to overwhelm air defenses and maximize destruction, with civilians again bearing the brunt of the violence.

The latest attack comes as Ukrainian communities continue to endure nighttime bombardments, power disruptions, and repeated threats to public safety. For families living near the front lines and far beyond them, each new strike deepens the civilian cost of a war that has already destroyed thousands of lives.
