Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned of a potential massive Russian missile strike within two days as recent aerial attacks injured dozens across Ukraine.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has warned that intelligence indicates Russian forces are preparing a massive missile attack against the country within two days. The alert follows a wave of Russian strikes targeting multiple Ukrainian regions.

According to Ukrainian military officials, Russia launched three ballistic missiles toward the Kyiv region and two supersonic Onyx missiles toward southern targets. Air defense forces intercepted one ballistic missile and neutralized 81 attack drones.

The strikes caused significant casualties and damage. In Zaporizhzhia, an airstrike injured at least 30 people, including seven children. Meanwhile, a Russian drone struck near a residential high-rise building in Kharkiv's Saltivka district, wounding a civilian. Air force officials emphasized that aerial threats remain persistent.
