Ukrainian officials warn of imminent Russian strikes following fresh aerial attacks

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned that Russian forces are preparing a massive missile strike against Ukraine within two days, citing reports from intelligence agencies and international allies. The announcement comes amid intensified Russian aerial bombardment across the country.

In Zaporizhzhia, guided aerial bomb strikes injured at least 30 people, including seven children. Meanwhile, Ukrainian Air Force officials reported intercepting one of three ballistic missiles launched toward the Kyiv region from the north, alongside neutralizing 81 attack drones. Russian forces also targeted southern Ukraine with two Onyx missiles, though Air Force spokesperson Yurii Ihnat stated they failed to hit their intended targets. Additionally, a drone strike in Kharkiv's Saltivka district shattered windows near a high-rise residential building, injuring at least one person. Emergency response efforts remain underway as air defense units stay on high alert.
