President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that more than 300 Russian attack drones and more than 30 missiles of various types were launched against peaceful Ukrainian cities overnight, in one of the largest air assaults in recent weeks.

“Last night, our warriors from various units repelled another Russian attack. More than 300 strike drones and over 30 missiles of various types were launched against our cities. Target elimination is still ongoing — drones remain in the air,” Zelenskyy wrote on Telegram. 

He noted that rescue operations are underway in the affected regions, including Donetsk, Kirovohrad, Dnipropetrovsk, Sumy, Kherson, Volyn, Zaporizhzhia, Mykolaiv, Odesa, and Zhytomyr. In Sumy, critical infrastructure was hit, cutting power to thousands of households. Shostka also faced combined strikes.

“In Odesa, an apartment building was damaged, six people were injured, including a child. Sadly, one person was killed. My condolences to their family and loved ones,” Zelenskyy stated.

He also reported that missiles and drones hit Pavlohrad, damaging both residential areas and key infrastructure. Emergency services are actively responding in all affected zones.

“I thank all the leaders who understand how crucial it is to promptly implement our agreements. Joint weapons production, investment in drone manufacturing in Ukraine,” Zelenskyy emphasized.
