Russia launched one of the most intense missile barrages of the war, with major Ukrainian cities including the capital Kyiv and Lviv in the west near Poland coming under attack. It was the 10th such assault since the Kremlin began targeting critical infrastructure in September.
Ukraine’s Air Force command said on Facebook that Russia had fired cruise missiles from ships and strategic bombers, and officials reported rockets incoming across the country, including in Kharkiv in the east, Odesa in the south and Sumy to the north. More than 120 missiles were launched, Mykhailo Podolyak, an adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, said in a tweet.
