Russian forces attacked Ukraine’s capital and other targets with missiles and drones overnight, days before the Kremlin’s full-scale war on its neighbor enters a fifth year.
Strikes with some 50 missiles of various types and nearly 300 attack drones “targeted Kyiv and the region, and the Dnipro, Kirovohrad, Mykolaiv, Odesa, Poltava and Sumy regions,” President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on the X platform. “The main target of the attack was the energy sector. Ordinary residential buildings were also damaged, and there is damage to the railway.”
