Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned of a potential major Russian missile attack within two days following recent aerial strikes across the country.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned that Russian forces could launch a major missile strike against the country over the next two days, citing intelligence from domestic security services and international partners. The announcement follows widespread aerial bombardments targeting multiple regions.

According to the Ukrainian Air Force, air defense units intercepted one of three ballistic missiles fired toward the Kyiv region, along with 81 attack drones. Air Force spokesperson Yuriy Ihnat confirmed two Onyx missiles were also launched at southern targets, noting that high-speed ballistic threats persist across Ukraine.

Recent strikes caused significant casualties and infrastructure damage. An airstrike in Zaporizhzhia wounded 30 people, including seven children. Meanwhile, a drone strike in Kharkiv's Saltivskyi district injured a resident and damaged a residential building.
