Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky sharply condemned Russia’s latest wave of overnight assaults, calling the strikes “vile, calculated, and intentionally brutal.” According to Zelensky, Russian forces launched an overwhelming 430 attack drones and 18 missiles throughout the night, unleashing destruction across multiple regions. The intense strikes left dozens of high-rise residential buildings damaged, with rescue services working nonstop to reach survivors trapped in the debris.
In the southern coastal city of Chornomorsk, a drone tore through a busy local market, killing two civilians and injuring several others. The attack targeted an area filled with early-morning vendors, amplifying its deadly impact.
The capital, Kyiv, was struck especially hard. Tymur Tkachenko, the head of Kyiv’s military administration, reported that residential buildings in nearly every district came under fire, describing the scale of the attack as one of the most widespread the city has faced in recent months.
—markedJust after midnight, Tkachenko issued an urgent message on Telegram, warning residents to immediately seek shelter. His short but alarming post—“It’s loud in Kyiv” — marked the start of hours of explosions, drone interceptions, and fires breaking out across the city.
Emergency crews have since been battling both the aftermath of the strikes and the risk of secondary explosions, as debris from intercepted drones continues to fall across populated areas. Ukrainian officials say the overnight attacks reflect a deliberate Russian strategy to break civilian morale as winter approaches.
