Russia carries out 'massive' attack across Ukraine
Russia carried out a “massive” attack across Ukraine Friday night into Saturday morning, using more than 600 drones and missiles, according to the Ukrainian Air Force.Ukraine’s air defense systems repelled most of the projectiles, the air force said.However, at least three people were killed and dozens of others were injured, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.The Russian strikes targeted Ukraine’s central city of Dnipro and the wider Dnipropetrovsk region, as well as the Mykolaiv, Chernihiv and Zaporizhzhia regions, and also communities in the Poltava, Kyiv, Odesa, Sumy, and Kharkiv regions, according to Zelenskyy.“The enemy aimed at our infrastructure, residential areas, and civilian enterprises,” the Ukrainian president said in a post on X.
“In Dnipro, a missile with cluster munitions directly struck an apartment building.”“Every such strike is not a military necessity but a deliberate strategy by Russia to terrorize civilians and destroy our infrastructure,” he added.“That is why a strong international response is needed.”Firefighters work at the site of apartment buildings hit during a Russian missile strike, amid Russia's attack on Ukraine, in Dnipro, Ukraine September 20, 2025.Mykola Synelnykov/ReutersMeanwhile, one month after his summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska, U.S.
