Ukraine stood resilient after Russia launched one of the war's largest attacks, deploying over
400 drones and 40 missiles in a massive overnight strike that killed at least six and injured dozens.
This assault came days after Kyiv executed a daring raid targeting more than a third of Russia's strategic cruise missile carriers, a bold move that had Ukrainians bracing for retaliation.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed the scale of the attack, emphasizing its unprecedented nature in the conflict.
"Russia had used more than 400 drones and 40 missiles in the overnight attack," Zelensky said, highlighting the intensity of the bombardment.
Despite the destruction, Kyiv residents expressed strong support for their military's actions, recognizing the strikes as a justified response to Moscow's ongoing aerial bombardments over three years.
"Kyiv residents told CNN they supported Ukraine's strikes against the aircraft Moscow has used to bomb Ukraine for more than three years," reflecting national resolve.
The attack underscores the escalating drone and missile warfare that has characterized the conflict, with Russia intensifying its efforts to weaken Ukraine's defenses following Kyiv's successful offensive against Moscow's strategic assets.
As Ukraine continues to stand firm, the international community watches closely, anticipating Kyiv's next moves amid this high-stakes confrontation.
