Russia launches huge missile-drone strike on Ukraine
CBS News and ABC News reported that Russia launched a massive overnight missile-and-drone attack on Ukraine Monday night into Tuesday morning. Ukraine's air force said 656 drones and 73 missiles were launched, with 602 drones and 40 missiles intercepted or suppressed, while 38 sites were hit, mostly around Kyiv. The reporting described deaths and injuries in Kyiv, Dnipro and Kharkiv, including a collapsed residential building in Kyiv's Podilskyi district and apartment damage in Dnipro; DTEK said outages affected about 140,000 residents before most service was restored.
Why it matters
It shows Russia can still mount very large mixed strikes that strain Ukraine's air defenses and civilian infrastructure.
