Russia hit Ukraine with a massive missile and drone strike, killing at least 20 people and triggering emergency power cuts as Moscow ramps up attacks ahead of winter.

The death toll rose after the barrage struck and significantly damaged a nine-story residential building in the western city of Ternopil leaving dozens injured among the rubble, according to Ukraine’s State Emergency Service. Russia used more than 470 strike drones and 48 missiles, including one ballistic type, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on social media.
