Russia’s broad drone–missile blitz leaves Ukrainian civilians dead and alarms sound

Russia launched nearly 700 drones and dozens of missiles in a sweeping attack across Ukraine, killing at least 17 and injuring more than 100, including civilians in Odesa and Kyiv. Air-raid alerts rang nationwide as Ukraine reported extensive damage, while Zelenskiy warns of Patriot missile shortages and urges continued Western support; Kyiv also moves to field cheaper, domestic defenses and targets Russian oil facilities linked to the war.
