Russia launches more than 200 missiles and drones at Ukraine
Russia battered Ukraine with more than 200 missiles and drones early Sunday — its largest combined attack in months — sending residents scrambling from their beds to bomb shelters, damaging energy infrastructure and killing at least two people just ahead of the 1,000-day mark since its full-scale invasion of the country.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Russia used 120 cruise, ballistic and aeroballistic missiles and 90 drones, including Iranian-made Shaheds, in the attack. Ukrainian forces shot down more than 140 of them, he said.
The attack killed two people in the southern port city of Mykolaiv and wounded six others, including two children, Zelensky said. Later Sunday, a Russian strike in the northeastern city of Sumy killed eight people, including two children, and left nearly 50 injured.
