"Russia Escalates Assault with Hypersonic Missiles on Ukraine's Major Cities"

Russia conducted a large missile and drone attack on Ukrainian cities, including Kyiv, resulting in five deaths and 127 injuries. Residential areas and infrastructure were hit, leaving many, like Iryna Karetnykova and Viktor Tyschenko, homeless. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy reported that the country's defenses shot down 70 of nearly 100 Russian missiles. The attacks followed a holiday weekend of assaults and a vow from Russian President Putin to intensify strikes in response to a drone attack on a western Russian city.
