Russia unleashed a new series of coordinated missile and drone attacks on Ukrainian cities late Thursday, striking key infrastructure, energy facilities, and civilian areas. Ukrainian Air Force confirmed it intercepted several drones, but many projectiles still hit their intended targets.
The latest wave follows a tense week of cross-border shelling and signals a further intensification of the conflict, which has now entered its third year. At least 9 people have been reported dead and dozens injured, with hospitals in Kharkiv and Dnipro overwhelmed by emergency cases.
Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy condemned the assault, calling it “a barbaric escalation against innocent civilians.” He urged Western allies to increase air defense support and expedite promised military aid.
In response, Russia’s Ministry of Defense claimed the strikes targeted Ukrainian military command centers and weapons depots, justifying them as “strategic operations.”
Meanwhile, the European Union and United States have condemned the attacks, warning that further aggression may trigger tighter sanctions and deeper military backing for Ukraine.
With the war dragging on and diplomatic solutions appearing increasingly elusive, analysts warn that both nations could be heading into a prolonged summer of conflict with high humanitarian costs.
