Summary

Russia launched a massive missile and drone attack on Ukraine, targeting energy infrastructure and cities nationwide, including Kyiv, Odesa, and Mykolaiv.

The assault, the largest since August, involved over 200 missiles and drones, including advanced Kinzhal and Zircon hypersonic missiles.

Ukrainian air defenses, aided by U.S.-made F-16 jets, intercepted 144 projectiles, but at least five people were killed.

The strikes caused power outages and emergency shutdowns as winter approaches, threatening millions.
