Ukraine braces for prospective Russian missile strike as attacks persist

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has warned that intelligence from partner nations points to a potential large-scale Russian missile strike within two days. The warning comes as Russian forces continue aerial bombardments across multiple regions.

Air defense forces reported neutralizing 81 attack drones and intercepting one of three ballistic missiles fired toward the Kyiv region. Air Force spokesperson Yurii Ihnat stated that two supersonic Onyx missiles directed at southern targets also failed to reach their objectives.

Despite intercepts, strikes continue to inflict civilian casualties. Emergency officials confirmed that 30 people, including seven children, were injured in Zaporizhzhia following guided aerial bomb strikes. Additionally, a drone blast near a high-rise residential building in Kharkiv injured one person and shattered windows. Ukrainian officials emphasized that high-level aerial threats remain active nationwide.
