Russia Unleashes New Wave of Drone and Missile Strikes on Ukraine, Killing One and Injuring Dozens

Russian forces intensified their bombing campaign on Ukrainian cities overnight, resulting in the death of one person and injuries to over three dozen others. The attacks, which included missiles, drones, and glide bombs, targeted multiple regions, including Odesa, Kharkiv, and Kyiv.

The escalating intensity of the Russian aerial campaign comes at a critical moment in the war, with Ukrainian forces facing setbacks in the east and uncertainty surrounding future Western aid.
