Share On
Russia launched 550 drones and missiles across Ukraine overnight in the largest aerial assault since the war began. The capital Kyiv was the primary target. Authorities said one person was killed and at least 26 people, including a child, were injured.
Ukrainian air defenses shot down 270 targets and another 208 targets were lost from radar and presumed jammed, but dozens still struck or caused damage across the city. Fires and destruction were reported in at least five of Kyiv's 10 districts.
The attack came hours after President Donald Trump held a call with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Trump said later of Putin that ``I don't think he's looking to stop'' the war.
