Overview
- Ukraine said Russia launched 675 attack drones and 56 missiles in what analysts called Thursday's saturation strike designed to swamp air defenses.
- Air defenses shot down 652 drones and 41 missiles, yet 15 missiles and 23 drones hit at least 24 sites and falling debris damaged 18 more areas.
- Kyiv authorities reported 10 dead, at least 45 injured, and about 20 people missing under rubble as crews searched collapsed residential buildings.
- Odesa, Kherson, and Kharkiv also reported injuries, and damage in Kyiv included homes, a school, and a veterinary clinic.
- Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha requested an urgent UN Security Council meeting after the assault, as European leaders condemned the attack for mocking recent ceasefire hopes.
