The Ukrainian air force reported that Russia launched 188 drones targeting 17 regions in Ukraine in a record-breaking overnight attack. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy condemned the attack, highlighting the damage to critical infrastructure and civilian buildings. The aftermath is still being dealt with, including a rescue operation in Sumy where at least two people were killed and multiple buildings were damaged.
In response to Russian aggression, the US authorized the use of long-range weapons for Ukraine, resulting in the launch of US-made ATACMS missiles. The Russian Defense Ministry confirmed that missiles fired by Ukraine damaged infrastructure and injured servicemen in the Kursk region. Despite Russia’s attempt to downplay the impact of the missile attacks, it is clear that the conflict between the two countries is escalating.
The ongoing violence between Russia and Ukraine has raised concerns about the possibility of a larger-scale conflict. President Zelenskyy emphasized the need to defend against Russian attacks and called for the destruction of Russian weapons and launch systems. The international community is closely monitoring the situation and urging for a peaceful resolution to the conflict to prevent further casualties and destruction.
