Russia launches widespread strikes on Ukraine as Kyiv hits Russian oil facilities

Russian forces launched a widespread wave of ballistic and cruise missile attacks across Ukraine overnight, targeting multiple cities including Kyiv, Dnipro, Vinnytsia, and Lviv. Ukrainian air defense systems engaged incoming threats in western Ukraine after President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned of an imminent large-scale strike based on military intelligence.

Simultaneously, active fighting continued along the front lines. Ukraine's General Staff reported 191 combat engagements in 24 hours, with heavy clashes concentrated in the Pokrovsk and Kostiantynivka directions.

In response, Ukrainian long-range strikes targeted Russian strategic energy infrastructure, including an export terminal in the Rostov region located roughly 250 kilometers from the front line, along with oil facilities in Yaroslavl and the Udmurt Republic.
