Russia launches a large-scale attack on Kyiv that includes ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and drones, according to Ukrainian officials. The Moscow Times and the New York Post report that Russia fires six ballistic missiles and six cruise missiles, along with 121 drones. The Independent adds that Ukrainian air defenses intercept at least two cruise missiles and 111 drones, indicating that most of the drone component is brought down.
