Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned of a potential large-scale Russian missile strike within two days, as air defenses intercepted dozens of drones and strikes caused casualties.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has warned that intelligence reports indicate Russia is preparing a large-scale missile attack within two days. The warning comes as Ukrainian air defense forces reported intercepting 81 attack drones and neutralizing one of three ballistic missiles targeted at the Kyiv region.

Air Force officials stated that two supersonic Onyx missiles directed at southern Ukraine failed to reach their intended targets. However, ongoing Russian bombardments caused casualties and structural damage across multiple regions. In Zaporizhzhia, local emergency services reported that the injured count from recent guided bomb strikes rose to 30, including seven children. Meanwhile, in Kharkiv's Saltivskyi district, a strike drone detonated near an apartment complex, injuring one civilian and shattering windows.
