Ukraine Reports 650 Drones and 50 Missiles Launched in Nationwide Attack
In a nighttime video address, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky disclosed that Russia had launched a massive strike, deploying 50 missiles and 650 drones across the country. The attacks led to at least 11 injuries and damage to critical energy infrastructure in the Sumy region, raising concerns about the escalating conflict’s impact on civilian and military targets.
The attack, which occurred in the early hours of the morning, marked a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia. Zelensky highlighted the gravity of the situation, emphasizing the need for international support and assistance in defending against the escalating threat. The damage to energy facilities has further complicated the already dire humanitarian and logistical challenges facing Ukraine.
The Russian military’s use of drones and missiles has become a defining feature of the war, with Ukrainian forces struggling to counter the constant barrage of attacks. The incident in Sumy underscores the vulnerability of infrastructure and the potential for widespread disruption in the region. As the conflict continues, the international community is under pressure to provide more substantial aid and security guarantees to Ukraine.
