Russia launches a large overnight missile and drone barrage across Ukraine, killing people in multiple cities and damaging civilian infrastructure, including residential apartment buildings in Pryluky and Kyiv. Ukrainian officials and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy say a strike destroys a five-story apartment block in Pryluky, with casualties reported among residents. Damage is also reported to homes and infrastructure elsewhere, including in Kremenchuk.
Zelenskyy says Russia fires 70 missiles, including ballistic weapons, and also uses drones. Outlets report casualty figures that vary in early assessments: Pryluky death tolls range from at least four to at least five, with dozens of injuries described, including children. In Kyiv, reports describe ballistic missile impacts and deaths, while other accounts say the overall toll across Ukraine reaches at least eight to 15 or 11, depending on the outlet’s compilation of preliminary figures. Several reports reference Zelenskyy’s prior warning that Russia was preparing a major strike.
