Ukraine warns of imminent Russian missile attack as strikes hit Zaporizhzhia and Kharkiv

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has warned that intelligence reports indicate Russia is preparing a large-scale missile assault within two days, as Russian aerial bombardments continue across the country. Air defense forces reported intercepting one of three ballistic missiles launched toward the Kyiv region, along with neutralizing 81 attack drones. Additionally, two supersonic Onyx missiles fired at southern Ukraine failed to reach their targets.

Despite defense interceptions, several strikes resulted in casualties and infrastructure damage. In Zaporizhzhia, the injured count from guided bomb attacks increased to 30 people, including seven children. In Kharkiv's Saltivskyi district, an attack drone detonated beside a residential high-rise building, injuring a civilian and shattering nearby windows. Ukrainian Air Force officials warned that elevated threat levels remain in effect nationwide.
