Russian forces launched extensive overnight air attacks targeting several Ukrainian cities, including the capital Kyiv and the western city of Lviv, according to Ukrainian military officials. Authorities reported multiple explosions and damage to infrastructure following what they described as a coordinated barrage involving missiles and drones.
Air defence systems were activated across affected regions, with officials stating that a significant number of incoming projectiles were intercepted. Emergency services responded to damaged residential buildings and energy facilities, while local administrations urged residents to seek shelter during alerts.
Moscow has not immediately commented on the specific strikes but has previously stated that its military operations focus on strategic infrastructure and defence related objectives. Ukrainian officials argue that repeated attacks on urban areas demonstrate continued targeting of civilian infrastructure.
International observers have reiterated calls for de escalation and renewed diplomatic efforts to resolve the conflict. The ongoing hostilities have placed further strain on Ukraine energy network and humanitarian resources.
Fighting continues along multiple front lines as both sides report intensified military activity.
