Russia Launches 120 Missiles and 90 Drones in Large-Scale Attack Across Ukraine

In a recent development, Russia has launched 120 missiles and 90 drones in a large-scale attack across Ukraine, targeting its energy infrastructure. According to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, the attack aimed at Ukraine’s energy infrastructure with various types of drones, including Shaheds, cruise, ballistic, and aircraft-launched ballistic missiles. In response, Ukrainian defense forces successfully shot down 140 air targets, as reported in a statement by Zelensky on Telegram.

The head of Kyiv’s City Military Administration, Serhii Popko, described the combined drone and missile attack as the most powerful in three months. He mentioned that the enemy’s target was Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, resulting in damage to objects from hits and falling debris. Tragically, in Mykolaiv, two people were killed, and six others, including two children, were injured due to a drone attack.

Since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Russian strikes have severely impacted Ukraine’s power generation capacity, leading to emergency power shutdowns and nationwide rolling blackouts. Ukrainian officials have continuously appealed to western allies to enhance the country’s air defenses to counter such assaults and facilitate repair work.

Explosions were heard across Ukraine recently, including in the capital city of Kyiv, the southern port of Odesa, and various regions across the country. The situation remains tense as Ukraine grapples with the aftermath of this devastating attack.
