Russia launches massive drone, missile barrage on Ukraine, at least 16 dead

Russia launched one of its largest recent aerial assaults on Ukraine, firing nearly 700 drones and multiple missiles in strikes that killed at least 16 people and injured over 80, officials said. The hours-long barrage hit cities including Kyiv, Odesa and Dnipro, with Ukrainian air defences intercepting most incoming targets but several strikes causing civilian casualties and damage. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged continued Western support for air defence systems, warning against easing pressure on Moscow as attacks on civilian areas persist.
