Russia launches a major overnight attack on Ukraine that includes the use of the Oreshnik missile, according to Ukrainian officials reported by multiple outlets. The assault hits Kyiv and other areas, with Ukrainian authorities describing it as one of the largest aerial barrages since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion. In Kyiv, officials say the attack causes fatalities and widespread injuries. The Japan Times reports that the barrage kills at least four people and leaves nearly 100 others wounded. The Washington Post says at least two people die in Kyiv and that the city absorbs the main impact of the strike.
Both accounts characterize the attack as a large-scale aerial assault carried out during the night, with Kyiv taking the brunt. The reported casualty figures vary between sources, reflecting differing counts and timing of updates. While the use of the Oreshnik missile is highlighted across reports, the outlets rely on Ukrainian statements for details of the damage and human impact.
