Russia launched a massive drone and missile assault across Ukraine that killed at least 16 civilians and struck Kyiv, Odesa, Dnipro and other cities. Ukraine's Air Force said Russia fired about 659 drones and roughly 44 cruise and ballistic missiles in the 24-hour attack, and Ukraine reported shooting down hundreds of drones and dozens of missiles. Casualty totals vary by outlet but most cited 16 to 18 dead, including a 12-year-old, and dozens wounded as residential towers and energy infrastructure were hit.
