President Zelenskyy warned of a potential major Russian missile attack within two days following intense aerial strikes across Ukraine that injured dozens.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has cautioned that Russian forces may launch a major missile strike against the country in the coming two days, relying on intelligence from Ukrainian security services and foreign partners.

The warning follows widespread aerial attacks across several regions. Ukrainian Air Defense intercepted one of three ballistic missiles launched toward Kyiv region, alongside 81 attack drones. Air Force spokesperson Yuriy Ihnat confirmed that two Onyx missiles were also fired toward southern targets, emphasizing that high-speed ballistic threats persist nationwide.

Meanwhile, recent strikes caused significant casualties and damage. An airstrike in Zaporizhzhia wounded 30 people, including seven children. Additionally, a drone explosion in Kharkiv injured a resident and shattered windows in a high-rise residential building.
