Russia has launched its most aggressive airstrike yet on Ukraine, dropping 209 drones and 9 ballistic missiles in a coordinated overnight attack, targeting military bases and vital infrastructure—escalating the conflict significantly.

Ukraine's air defenses intercepted a significant percentage of the barrage, though civilian power outages and some structural damage were reported in regions including Kyiv, Chernihiv, and Kharkiv. The unprecedented scale has alarmed NATO, prompting discussions on bolstering air defense systems in Eastern Europe.

Ukrainian officials stated the strike was likely in retaliation for a recent Ukrainian drone operation that damaged Russian military assets. This escalating cycle of strikes and counterstrikes is deepening the humanitarian and strategic pressure on both nations.
