Russia launched a massive attack on Ukraine, firing 315 drones and 7 missiles overnight, with the Ukrainian air force intercepting 284 drones and all missiles, according to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The main target was Kyiv, but the attack also hit Odesa, damaging buildings and wounding several people.
The attack is one of the largest on Kyiv, with the Ukrainian air force playing a crucial role in defending the city. The strikes damaged high-rise buildings, homes, cars, and warehouses in Kyiv, and wounded 5 people, with at least 2 killed in Odesa. A maternity hospital in Odesa was also hit, with several people wounded in the attack.
This attack comes after Russia's biggest drone strike on Ukraine on Monday, where 479 UAVs were launched. President Zelenskyy has called on the US to use its power to force Russia into peace, as the conflict between the two countries continues to escalate. The Ukrainian air force's ability to intercept the majority of the drones and all missiles has been seen as a significant achievement in the face of the ongoing attacks.
The situation in Ukraine remains volatile, with the international community watching the developments closely. The Ukrainian air force's efforts to defend the country against the Russian attacks have been crucial in minimizing the damage and casualties. As the conflict continues, the world waits to see how the situation will unfold and what steps will be taken to bring about a peaceful resolution.
