Ukraine hit by daylight drone assault as Russia floods skies with 200+ kamikaze drones

Russia launched a daytime, large-scale assault on Ukraine using more than 200 Shahed-type drones, triggering air-raid alerts across multiple regions and injuring at least five people (Khmelnytskyi and Odesa reported). Ukrainian officials said drones entered from Belarus and the Black Sea, with air defenses engaging many groups as Kyiv braced for possible follow-up missiles targeting critical infrastructure.
