At least six dead in Russia’s largest drone attack on Ukraine

  • Russia launched its largest aerial attack on Ukraine in a 24-hour period since the war began, deploying 948 drones.
  • The assault included 392 drones and dozens of missiles overnight, followed by an unusual daytime drone onslaught.
  • At least six people were killed in the widespread attacks across various Ukrainian locations.
  • Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said the scale of the strikes indicates Vladimir Putin has no intention of ending the conflict and urged stronger international pressure on Moscow.
  • Alongside the aerial bombardment, Russia has intensified ground assaults, with analysts suggesting a spring-summer offensive has commenced, though without significant territorial gains so far.
