Zelenskyy warns of imminent mass Russian missile strike as attacks continue

President Zelenskyy warned of a potential mass Russian strike within two days, as Ukrainian forces intercept drones and missiles across multiple regions.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has warned that intelligence reports indicate Russian forces are preparing a mass missile strike within two days. The warning follows active aerial engagements across Ukraine, where defense forces intercepted 81 strike drones and neutralized one of three ballistic missiles fired toward the Kyiv region.
Air Force officials noted that two supersonic Onyx missiles directed at southern targets failed to hit their intended destinations. Meanwhile, Russian strikes caused casualties and infrastructure damage elsewhere. In Zaporizhzhia, local emergency services confirmed that the number of injured from recent guided bomb attacks reached 30, including seven children. Additionally, an attack drone detonated near a multi-story apartment building in Kharkiv's Saltivskyi district, wounding a civilian and shattering nearby windows.
