Russia launches a massive ballistic missile attack overnight across Ukraine, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says, leaving more than half a million Ukrainians without power. The strike comes in multiple waves, affecting Kyiv and energy facilities, Zelenskyy adds.
According to Zelenskyy, Russia uses 16 ballistic missiles and hits targets across 11 oblasts. Zelenskyy also says there is no early warning, describing a lack of timely alerts from “partners.” The outlets differ slightly in emphasis—one highlights the broader impact and repeated wave pattern, while the other specifies the number of missiles and the range of regions hit—but both report the same overall outcome: widespread power outages following the overnight attack.
