Ukrainian officials warn of imminent Russian missile strikes amid widespread attacks

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has warned that intelligence reports indicate Russia is preparing a large-scale missile attack across Ukraine within two days. The warning follows a series of recent strikes targeting several Ukrainian regions.

According to Air Force spokesperson Yuriy Ihnat and military reports, Russian forces launched ballistic Iskander-M/S-400 missiles towards Kyiv, supersonic Onyx missiles at southern targets, and dozens of strike drones. Ukrainian air defenses intercepted 81 drones and one ballistic missile.

Meanwhile, ground impacts caused significant casualties and damage. An airstrike in Zaporizhzhia injured 30 people, including seven children, prompting emergency response efforts. In Kharkiv's Saltivka district, a drone strike damaged a residential building and injured a civilian.
