Zelenskyy warns of potential massive Russian missile strike across Ukraine

President Zelenskyy warned of a potential widespread Russian missile attack within two days, as recent air strikes left dozens injured across Ukraine.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has cautioned that intelligence reports indicate Russian forces are preparing a widespread missile attack across the country within two days. The warning comes amid ongoing aerial bombardments across multiple Ukrainian regions.
According to the Ukrainian Air Force, Russian forces launched three Iskander-M or S-400 ballistic missiles toward the Kyiv region alongside two supersonic Onyx missiles aimed at southern targets. Ukrainian air defenses intercepted one ballistic missile and neutralized 81 attack drones.
The recent strikes resulted in significant casualties and infrastructure damage. In Zaporizhzhia, an airstrike injured 30 people, including seven children. Additionally, a drone strike near a high-rise residential building in Kharkiv's Saltivka district shattered windows and wounded a civilian. Military officials noted that aerial threats across Ukraine remain high.
