Russia launched a massive wave of missile and drone strikes across Ukraine on Wednesday and Thursday, and Kyiv reported at least 16 civilians killed and 48 injured. The strikes hit cities including Kyiv and damaged homes, power lines, and other critical infrastructure. Russia employed long-range missiles alongside swarms of drones, forcing Ukraine to spread its air defenses thin. The assault risks wider infrastructure outages, more civilian casualties, and further escalation between Kyiv and Moscow.
