In a devastating attack that has left Ukraine reeling, Russian forces unleashed a wave of strikes unlike anything seen since the start of the war in the region. The assault, which targeted multiple cities across the country, has already claimed the lives of at least 31 people, with over 150 reported injured. This onslaught, consisting of cruise missiles, drones, and bombers, has caught Ukraine off guard, marking it as the worst attack since Russia's full-scale invasion nearly two years ago.
Ukrainian authorities have reported that Russian strikes targeted not only military installations but also civilian infrastructure. Apartment buildings, a metro station, and even a maternity hospital in Dnipro were hit, leaving a trail of destruction in their wake. Hospital officials described the harrowing scenes, with shattered windows and broken ceilings. Thankfully, women and newborns were able to seek refuge in a bomb shelter, narrowly escaping harm. However, reports have emerged of dozens of other casualties throughout the country, with even prominent basketball player Viktor Kobzitsy losing his life in the attacks.
